Share your favorite memories with mom

• They rocked us to bed, let us win at "rock, paper, scissors," threatened to break rocks over that school bully's head or just sat with you when you needed a shoulder to cry on.

📬 We all have our favorite memories of mom. Send them to [email protected] to share yours.

Here are the Axios Philadelphia team's gems:

🍗 Isaac: When I was a young boy, we were inside a library, and I decided to shout at the top of my lungs, "Hey, dad, you chicken-bone head!"

• Little Isaac thought that was a slick insult. Grown Isaac has secondhand embarrassment for my parents. But mom always lovingly tells that story.

🧠 Mike: I always remember my mom telling me to have the confidence to be my own person and go my own way — no matter what the crowd does. That's always stuck with me.
