Lopez, who shares her 16-year-old twins Max and Emma with ex-husband Marc Anthony, shared two Instagram posts on Mother’s Day highlighting her relationship with her children and her own mom, Guadalupe “Lupe” Rodríguez.

“Lulu and Max, I am here FOREVER to support you, to encourage you, to remind you of your greatness your goodness and your limitless abilities. You. Can. Do. Anything,” Lopez captioned one post. “You are brilliant and beautiful and worthy of love and all the beautiful things in life. If you ever learn one thing from me, let it be this.”

“I appreciate all the songs you sang and the dances in the living room and all the stories you told where I would hang on to every word and then cry with laughter as you told them,” Lopez wrote.

“Thank you for the joy you instilled in me. Your resilience and fearlessness lives in my bones and I am forever grateful for the good times, but also for the inevitable hard times.”
