Sharon on leaving daughter Frankie in NYC for college: 'I shouldn’t be selfish and just let her spread her wings and fly'

Sharon Cuneta and fam all went to New York to help daughter Frankie Pangilinan get settled in for college.

They’ve spend many beautiful days in the Big Apple — having a steak lunch at Serafina, visiting the Chelsea neighborhood, and food tripping in Chinatown.

But after two weeks, pretty much the entire family has gone home, leaving Sharon, and her Yaya Hazel to issue the last goodbyes.

On Instagram Thursday, the Megastar opened up about her anxieties over leaving her daughter behind.

“I have been getting 2 ½-3 hours of sleep at night sine we got here two weeks ago, and now, clearly this is no longer jetlag. It’s all the stress and pain of knowing that in a few more days, I will have to gather all my strength to be able to finally leave her here in this big beautiful city,” Sharon writes.

KC flew home the other day. Dada, Miel and Miguel with our Yaya Carmen left yesterday. So it’s now just me, Yaya Hanzel and my Kakie who is sleeping with me in the hotel until I leave, even if she’s already settled in her dorm. I have been getting 2-1/2 to 3 hours of sleep at night since we got here two weeks ago, and now, clearly this is no longer jetlag (though that lasted a week for me!). It’s all the stress and pain of knowing that in a few more days, I will have to gather all my strength to be able to finally leave her here, in this big, beautiful city - all alone without her whole family, and her friends whom she has known and loved and been loved by since 7th grade. She has known nothing but love since the day she was born...and I worry too much about her. I am so crazy about all my children - but since Kakie’s second oldest and was born a “manang,” meaning she has always been more mature for her age, she has been for the past few years, my best friend. I miss her already. I cry every night, but I shouldn’t be selfish and just let her spread her wings and fly. I hope I can visit her often. Please pray for both Kakie and me. Thanks so much and God bless you all.

Pointing out how Frankie will be without family and friends she’s loved and been loved by since the 7th grade, Sharon said “I worry too much about her,” adding she’s “so crazy about all my children.”

She consoled herself in knowing that her daughter was born a “manang.” 

“She has always been more mature for her age, [and] she has been, for the past few years, my best friend. I miss her already.”

“I cry every night, but I shouldn’t be selfish and just let her spread her wings and fly,” she added, asking for prayers for both Frankie and herself.

Aww, we feel you Ate Shawie! Don't worry, you raised Frankie well! We're sure she'll do you proud. — LA, GMA News
