<p>Tagging her mother as the &ldquo;lightning bolt&rdquo;, Lopez added: &ldquo;You&rsquo;re the person I call in the middle of the night when I&rsquo;m too lost and scared to admit it to anyone else and I can&rsquo;t find my way out.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Lopez also shared her understanding of motherhood.</p>
<p>&ldquo;These past 18 years I&rsquo;ve learned that being a mom is a series of ebbs and flows where you&rsquo;re closer to your child in a way that you&rsquo;ve never felt with any human, and at times you feel so far away that you could die from heartache.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She concluded: &ldquo; 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. <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/mothers-day-2026-heres-how-soha-ali-khan-bhagyashree-and-other-celebrated-111033" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Happy Mother&rsquo;s Day</a></strong>.&rdquo;</p>
