"Alam n'yo ba I was raised by an OFW mother?
“Maliit pa lang ako my mom (courageously) went abroad to earn a living for me and my sister," LJ wrote.
"I have always believed that it was a necessary but difficult decision to make.
"Pero nung ako na yung naging magulang, tsaka ko lang na-realize kung gaano talaga kahirap malayo sa mga anak mo. Masakit pala sa puso."
LJ also said that it's time for her to give back to her mom.
"Ngayon ang pangarap ko talaga ay sana balang araw I can bring my mom to different places in and out of the country!
"Para naman finally ma-enjoy n'ya yung pagsakay ng eroplano at ang mga tourist spots kasama kaming pamilya n'ya."
