When it comes to strength and parenting, we all know that Latina mamas have it on lock. The best of our parents teach us how to be fully functional and kind human beings. Who are also capable, strong and eager to give back to the world and our own communities. Full of gratitude for the mother figures in our lives, Latinos on Twitter are already showing their love for their mamas and abuelas almost a full month before Mother’s Day! Now that’s enthusiasm.

Check out some of their experiences and words of praise below!

Because so many of us could sing the praises of the women who raised us.

Thanking god for the strength he gave my mother. She came to America not speaking English, managed to find work and kept the lights on and food in the mouths of 6 children and at one point two grand children. I’m a proud son always of an immigrant woman. I can’t ever take it easy

And it takes a lot of strength to me a mother, particularly one who is an immigrant.

Personally, I am inspired by the strength of my mother–a Filipino immigrant–who has fought with both solid determination and softness of compassion for a home and a better life for herself and her family. She is a woman who sees no obstacle she cannot overcome.

Thank you also to our mothers for ensuring we came into this world with good lewks.

And for teaching us that no matter what to work hard.

Because it’s never just a game!

There’s a lot to love about our abuelas too. Because whether they are with us physically or in spirit– feel their presence.

I was always disconnected from my extended family, never having met my abuelos in Mexico and being raised here, but my brother found this pic of them from their youth. It’s comforting. I never met her but I know my abuela Carmela met me and watches me, always, and loves me still. pic.twitter.com/ffwWmr2vDk

So here’s to you mamas and abuelas!

Happy 90th birthday to my baby, my abuela 😂. She is basically my second mother. She raised me and took care of me my whole life. She is one of the most important people in my life, including my abuelo. My biggest… https://t.co/acj8tJEfAL
