MANANATILI siyang No. 1 fan ng kanyang ina! Nagbigay ng tribute si Bella Hadid sa kanyang ina na si Yolanda Hadid sa pamamagitan ng isang sweet na post sa Instagram nitong nakaraang Linggo, at tinawag ang dating modelo na “tough as nails.”
“Mommy, I’m so proud of you for opening up about a very important and sensitive part of our lives,” saad sa caption ng 20-anyos na modelo sa larawan ng alum ng Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sa libro nito, na magsasalaysay sa pakikipaglaban nito sa Lyme disease. “You didn’t choose this path for yourself, nor did you choose to victimize yourself. Instead you continued to raise me, my brother and sister in the best way possible, wrote a book to help all of those suffering around the world, and slowly but surely found your happiness again.”
Sumailalim si Yolanda, 53, sa operasyon nitong nakaraang Agosto para malunasan ang ilang sintomas ng Lyme disease, na idinokumento para sa kanyang mga tagahanga. Unang na-diagnose ang reality star na may autoimmune disease noong 2012.
Ibinunyag niya noong Oktubre 2015 na mayroon ding ganitong sakit ang kanyang mga anak na sina Bella at Anwar, 17.
“I know how hard it was for me to see how much you struggled in the past few years and vice-versa, but to see others constantly judge you and doubt you while you were down was even worse,” patuloy ng Dior model. “…My whole life, I never saw you anything less than ‘tough as nails’ so every time you would look at me with tears in your eyes, pain in your bones, bruises on your body from all the needles, in the fetal position, and ask me when this would all be over... I would always say ‘it will be over soon mommy’ without never really knowing the answer.”
Dagdag pa ni Bella, “so proud” siya sa pagsusulat ng kanyang ina sa mga pinagdaanan sa pagkakaroon ng Lyme disease sa librong Believe Me, na ilalabas sa Setyembre.
“Thank you for being so strong and speaking up about our journey. I am so proud and I love you ❤️,” pagtatapos niya sa kanyang mahabang post.
Noong Hunyo 2016, inihayag ni Yolanda ang pag-alis sa RHOBH pagkatapos ng apat na season para pagtuunan ng pansin ang kanyang kalusugan.
“I would have loved a more graceful exit than ‘Season 6’ but sometimes we don’t get to control the ending of the chapters in our life,” pahayag niya sa halos dalawang milyong follower niya nang panahong iyon. “I am leaving what’s over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is a new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on my recovery, my children and bring back the privacy within our Home.” (Us Weekly)
