For Paolo Contis’ 34th birthday, LJ Reyes enumerated all the reasons why she is thankful for the actor who happens to be her boyfriend.
The actress admitted that she has not said “thank you” to him often, as stated in her Instagram post yesterday, March 14. So this time, she took the opportunity to express her gratitude.
“Thank you for being the strength that I didn’t know I needed!” Reyes affectionately said. “Thank you for the patience that you have consistently (which sometimes I look over) exemplified amidst my stubbornness (at times)!”
Even though her son, Aki, is not Contis’ biological child, she expressed her gratitude for him, for taking care of them “right when I thought I could do without anybody else in our life.”
“Life never gets easy, and I just want you to know that I want you to be there even when it gets tougher,” she asked this of Contis in her post. “We are and never will be perfect, but I couldn’t imagine anybody else beside me but you!”
As her boyfriend has his gaze up in the sky in the photo she shared, Reyes said he should “continue to look Up, even if it blinds you.” She continued, “I will just be right here beside you, looking at you. Waiting if you need my hand to hold.”
And what’s a birthday celebration without food? Reyes shared in her Instagram Story how they partied for Contis’ birthday.
