Kris Aquino pens heartfelt post on Bimby’s 17th birthday: ‘You’re my greatest achievement because of your capacity to love’

Kris Aquino took to social media to wish her son Bimby a happy birthday.

On Instagram, the Queen of All Media first acknowledged that there’s a lot she hasn’t shared with her followers about her health status.

“Primarily because my news has mostly been sad,” she said.

Kris then continued, “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… ayokong sirain ang dapat good vibes sa 17th birthday ni bimb BUT i also know for all those praying for us i owe you the TRUTH.” she said.

“Padaanin lang natin please ang April 19 (happy birthday to our beloved [Kim Chiu]).”

Kris told Bimby, “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.”

She apologized for showing weakness when she cried non-stop on Thursday in fear that she may not be around on his 18th birthday.

“It’s my bad for not being grateful that against all odds, with 5 autoimmune conditions, 3 of them that are life threatening i failed to see the glass as being half full BECAUSE you’ve matured so much and you’re always ready to help my nurses, and though i know you’re also freaked, you still show CALM & absolute FAITH in God when my BP and heart rate reach scary high numbers,” she said.

“No matter how much physical pain i endure daily- my heart overflows with love because of your caring, selfless, unconditional LOVE,” Kris said. “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- 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. Love doesn’t die my [honey], please remember that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the love of my life.”

Kris left the country in 2022 to seek treatment in the United States for her autoimmune conditions, which are already threatening her life.

She has been sharing her health journey on Instagram and asking for prayers from her fans.

In January, Kris said that her son, Bimby, will return to the country soon and will start working because of her medical bills.—Carby Basina/LDF, GMA Integrated News
