In the most recent edition of PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL, Adamari López and her mother, Viladina Torres, speak exclusively about the battle they together won against cancer and the hopes of the Puerto Rican actress to become a mother. Mother and daughter posed together for this special issue of Mother's Day and tell how this difficult journey further strengthened the union that always existed between them.

"What happened to Adamari was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me in my life because she had so many desires to live," says Torres, 70, of the impact caused by Adamari's cancer diagnosis, 36. “I said: 'My God, Adamari is young, she has lived so little and has had no family, she has had no children. It would be better if I had it, '”she adds.

Ironically, his words came true a few months later, when he learned that the pain he had been feeling in one leg after a recent car accident was due to lymphoma that affected his hip and leg bones. López reveals how it felt to see the roles change: “When it happened to her, I was already strong; what he wanted was for her to fight. It was incredibly painful to see her lying down, that she couldn't move, that every time she moved her leg it was a cry of pain.”

López's mom, now in recovery, has gained 30 of the pounds she lost from chemotherapy and underscores her thanks to God for her daughter's recovery. "The Lord has saved her twice," he says, remembering that he was about to die during Adamari's birth.

In addition, in this Mother's Day special, some stars and their children express, in letters, the love they feel on this special date. Among them, the Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui writes to his mother; Mexican actress Susana Dosamante writes to Pau and Thalía writes to her mother.
