BIRTHDAY kahapon ng panganay ni Kris Aquino na si Joshua Aquino, at 24 years old na ito.
Nitong Lunes, may post si Kris ng mga travel pictures nila ni Josh kasama si Bimby, at cute na cute kami na isang old photo na habang lumalangoy si Kuya ay nakasakay naman sa kanya ang batambatang si Bimb, gayundin sa mga litrato ng mga nakaraang birthday celebrations ni Josh, at ang huli ay ang funny moments nila ng Tito Noy (former President Noynoy Aquino) niya.
Caption ni Kris sa mga litratong magkakasama sila nina Josh, Bimb, ang mga ate niya, at si PNoy: “Kuya Josh turns 24 tomorrow, June 4. I was 24 when I gave birth to him. Hard to imagine I was his age when I became his mama.
“Admittedly, I wasn’t ready to be a parent. But I had my Mom. Regardless of the circumstances of Kuya’s birth, when Kuya Josh was 1 month old, his Lola (former President) Cory (Aquino) fell in love with him. And the feeling was most definitely MUTUAL.
“I know his genuine generosity & gentle spirit came from having been a lola’s boy. Birthday niya, so I chose his favorite song as the background music for his videos. #ikawnanga
“We’re still in (Singapore flag) where I am recuperating. We’ll be home this weekend & I had time to think carefully about some decisions I’ve made that I’m still writing a blog about (no, haters & bashers, I’m not yet dying, at least from my doctors’ reports, so ‘wag muna magpa-party, sayang ang gastos sa food & drinks) BUT watching Kuya’s videos I think already gave you a big clue about my realizations, about what’s only temporary, and how much I LOVE the 2 boys who truly deserve the best of me, for the longest time they can have me.”
Happy birthday, Kuya Josh, mula rito sa amin sa BALITA!
