Kris Aquino penned a birthday greeting for her youngest son Bimby’s 17th birthday, saying she was emotional during the occasion because of her fear of no longer being around to celebrate his next one.
The Queen of All Media, who is battling multiple autoimmune diseases, gave a glimpse of their simple celebration in California through her Instagram page on Friday, April 19.
“April 19, 2007 I gave birth to my living guardian angel. In the past month with Kuya Josh back in the [Philippines], and because of several vaccines I needed to be given, Bimb kept me company while I quarantined,” she began.
Addressing Bimby, Kris continued, “I’m keeping the promise i made to you—September 28, 2018 when we first knew there was something scary about my sudden weight loss and my complete blood test result.”
“I’m sorry for showing weakness yesterday when I cried nonstop because of my fear that I may not be around to be with you on your 18th birthday,” she said.
Kris underscored that despite her life-threatening conditions, her youngest son has matured so much and has remained his faith in God.
“No matter how much physical pain I endure daily, my heart overflows with love because of your caring, selfless, unconditional love,” she stated. “My one wish is for your character to remain strong, your values and integrity stay admirable, your respectful and polite manner unchanged, and your passion for learning will continue to inspire you to make the most of your education.”
“I love you not only during my lifetime or yours but definitely for eternity. You’re my greatest achievement because of your capacity to love,” she stressed. “This early you’ve embraced your responsibility to take care of your kuya, and since you were 11 years old, you’ve been so protective of me.”
Concluding her message, Kris reminded Bimby: “Love doesn’t die, my [honey].”
Kris also briefly spoke about her health and said that news about it “has mostly been sad.” She, however, did not expound as she did not want to “ruin the good vibes” of her son’s birthday.
Kris included in her post as well a greeting to her close friend, actress Kim Chiu, who shares the same birthday with Bimby.
