Lopez also shared her understanding of motherhood.
“These past 18 years I’ve learned that being a mom is a series of ebbs and flows where you’re closer to your child in a way that you’ve never felt with any human, and at times you feel so far away that you could die from heartache.”
She concluded: “ It must not have been easy all those years with three independent daughters that you nurtured to be so strong and smart, and willful. But we love you, Mommy. I love you, Mommy. I cherish you today and every day. Happy Mother’s Day.”
