When my husband and I got married in 1999, we immediately discussed that we were planning on having children. We both had so many things in common when it came to parenting and we agreed on all the important issues that arise when two people are raising kids together. Unfortunately, we were unable to get pregnant right away and, year after year for four years, we were disappointed that it just wasn’t happening for us.
Suddenly, in late 2002, we got the news that we had been eagerly awaiting for, we were expecting and I was due to give birth to our child in June of 2003. During the entire pregnancy, we planned for everything! Every afternoon, we would both come home with new clothes for the baby which soon began to fill the closet in the nursery. There was so much planning for the arrival of our new blessing that we were actually painting the nursery in sky blue the night that I went into later. Talk about cutting it close!
However, all of my preparation could not have possibly prepared me for the love that I would feel the first time that I saw my son. At that very moment, I knew immediately that I would love this child unlike any love that I had ever felt before in my entire life. The “Inseparable” bond that was born that day between the both of us will last forever into infinity. Three years later, I fell in love all over again when I gave birth to our youngest son in 2006. As they both grow up right in front of my eyes, this love between a mother and her children keeps growing and growing…
This Mother’s Day, Coca-Cola is launching a special microsite on May 6th where you can register to call your mom for free, anywhere, for three minutes. It’s just another way that Coca-Cola supports Latino families in staying connected and sharing important moments together. Ever since I was a little girl in Spain, Coca-Cola has always been a beloved brand in Latino households so it warms my heart to see them paying homage to Latino Culture and the importance of motherhood and family within our culture.
Coca-Cola believes every day should be a day to call and thank your mother for everything she’s done for you, but understands it may not always be possible for a variety of reasons. That’s why they want to give you a moment to connect with your mamá and tell her how much you love her!
Make sure you RSVP to JOIN US WEDNESDAY May 6th from 9-10 pm EST (6 – 7 PM PST)! on Twitter via the hashtag #INSEPARABLE because Coca-Cola wants to help you stay connected to Mami this Mother’s Day!
Let’s Discuss: What will you tell Mami if you can speak to her for three minutes this Mother’s Day?

Awww I just love your story and it was the same with me. The love I felt for my kids when they were born can’t even be explained. I speak to my mom every day and I would have to tell her I love her. She doesn’t have much longer so I have to remember to tell her.
I will be seeing my mom on Saturday night. I am lucky because I talk to my mom almost every day.
You are such a good mama! I saw mine the other day – making memories 🙂
I think I will call my grandma today! She is the best grandma, mom, person in the entire world.
What a beautiful story. I shed some tears reading it. Thanks for sharing
What a lovely story! I won’t be seeing my Mother this Mothers Day (my vehicle is broken) but she will definitely be in my thoughts
What a lovely post! I wish my mom was around to spend the day with on Mother’s Day! But I’ll be celebrating with my babies! When my babies were born it was the greatest I’ve ever felt, the love was immediate and overpowering!
What a wonderful story! My Mom is on the other side of the country, so I won’t be spending it with her. I’ll be with my kiddos and plan on spending the day just enjoying them
3 minutes would never be enough! LOL This is such a beautiful post. I am visiting my mother right now. I flew 2000 miles to be with her on this Mother’s Day and we are just going to have a great week.
I will be taking my Mom for lunch and an afternoon at the Spa. This is such a beautiful post. I tell my Mom i am thankful for her all the time.
This is such a great post. We should tell our parents every day how much we care and appreciate everything they have done for us.
Really a great post indeed! Your kids looks super cute. I am lucky because I talk to my mom every day. I love my grandma but now she is very sick and I always pray for her. Thanks for sharing your story.
That’s really cool they’re letting people call their moms for 3 minutes. I think that is going to benefit a lot of people and make a lot of moms feel good.
Kudos to Coca Cola for doing this! I certainly love my mom for everything she’s done for us 🙂
Such a wonderful story totally even in line with the day for Mothers. <3
You have such a beautiful family and I hope you have an amazing Mother’s Day. I’m sure you are so proud.
I would tell her what I always tell her… You are the best mom ever!
My mom drinks diet coke. That’s the best way to connect to her
I hope that had a big turnout! And look at your sons so so so cute!! I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! And I agree with Coca Cola, every day is a good day to connect with mom. 🙂
Beautiful and especially so because I’ve met your handsome sons and they are so sweet. Hope your mother’s day was filled with bliss and joy!
Aww, beautiful kiddos!! I hope a lot of ladies got the chance to call their Mamas!
What a great thing that CocaCola is doing. I would definitely take them up on this offer if I needed the service.
