If there is somebody who deserves the tittle of superhero, that is any woman who is a single mother. I just can't imagine how hard it must be to do it all on your own. I'm not only talking about the physical part of having children, although only a mom knows how demanding it is. I'm talking about all the worrying, the responsability of raising a human being. If sometimes it seems overwhelming, when the two parents are in the same team, it sure is much more when you are and feel alone.
There are millions of women in this situation, some of them are famous, and we wanted to recognize them all, aplauding the great job that some of our favorite latinas, like Jennifer Lopez, Chiquinquirá Delgado, Sofía Vergara and Christina Aguilera, among many others are doing with their little ones.

These are ladies that we see succeding in their careers, looking awsome and taking care of their children. While they do have help, they are also "present mothers" and for that I admire them even more, because they don't have to be there phsycally.
Let's toast all the mothers, but specially the single mothers on Mother's Day and celebrate all that they have done and do for us. ¡Felicidades mamás! –Additional reporting by Giselle Castro (some gallery)
