Tirso Cruz's wife Lynn mourns son TJ: 'Pinahiram ka ni Lord sa akin for 37 years, and I thank God for that. I am blessed!'

Lynn Ynchausti Cruz is a vision of grace and gratitude amid the loss of her firstborn son TJ.

On Instagram Thursday, Lynn posted a beautiful message addressed to TJ, who succumbed to cancer on Wednesday, November 21.

"I remember you telling me, “di ako nahihiya Ma na tawaging Mama’s Boy, I am proud to be a Mama’s Boy!” Oh my dearest TJ, I am proud of you my dearest son! My first born son!" Lynn began her heartfelt message, where she expressed gratitude for having been lent a son for 37 years and enumerated all the many things she will miss about him.

It is a little heartbreaking — no parent should bury their sons — but Lynn's grace shone through. Read her message below:

I remember you telling me, “di ako nahihiya Ma na tawaging Mama’s Boy, I am proud to be a Mama’s Boy!”

Oh my dearest TJ, I am proud of you my dearest son! My first born son! You have a very good heart! A strong man! A warrior!

The Lord blessed me with you! Pinahiram ka ni Lord sa akin for 37 years, and I thank God for that. I am blessed!

You are now dancing in heaven for the Lord! You fought a good fight anak! I will miss you so much! I will miss our talks, yung tawanan natin, yung paghati natin sa food, yung pagdaan mo sa room namin ni Papa mo before you leave the house and pag-uwi mo, yung kumakanta tayong dalawa while you were in the hospital praising and worshiping God, our morning and evening prayer time...so many things na nami-miss ko about you...so many beautiful memories and I will cherish them for the rest of my life!

You will always be in my heart! I love you my son! Mama loves you Mama’s Boy! I love you TJ!

TJ is Tirso and Lynn's firstborn. He passed away on Wednesday because of cancer. — LA, GMA News
