Naging madamdamin ang birthday message ni Queen of All Media Kris Aquino sa 16th birthday ng kaniyang bunsong anak na si Bimby Aquino Yap, na siyang laging nakaalalay sa kaniya sa buong panahon ng kaniyang pagpapagamot sa ibang bansa.

Sa kaniyang Instagram post nitong Sabado, Abril 22, ibinida ni Kris kung gaano ka-responsable at caring na anak si Bimby.

"If they only knew, all that we’ve survived together… I waited a few days before posting my 16th birthday greeting for my 6’1 baby," panimula ni Kris.

"Bimb, my 🍯, YOU are the reason I can’t give up, and I continue fighting what at times feels like a losing battle. BUT if there’s one thing I’m proud of, since the day you were born- 5 weeks early, weighing barely 4 pounds, I’ve kept my word, never breaking any promises I made to you."

"On that cruel night, in late September 2018, we had a preview of the 1st 2 autoimmune conditions I had, and we were so afraid of the possible 3rd- we were crying as we embraced. I’ll NEVER forget forcing myself to reassure the 11 year old you that like your Lola: I’ll endure anything and everything, to make sure you had me for as long as you needed me."

Panalangin daw ni Kris na sana ay umabot pa siya hanggang 2025 kung saan legal na ang pagiging adult ni Bimb.

"I even vividly remember my prayer: God I ask for nothing more BUT the gift of resilience & FAITH for me to still be alive and cognizant on April 19, 2025, when Bimb officially becomes an adult… please prepare him well for the lifelong responsibilities he’ll have when it’s his turn to be his kuya’s guardian. Just 2 more years, every year after let’s treat as an unexpected gift from heaven."

"God answered my prayers way beyond what we asked of Him, because NOW roles have been reversed- thank you Bimb for being so responsible & caring; for doing homeschooling from 7 AM to 1 PM so that you have the rest of the day to help our nurses care for me; because you’re the one who can so easily lift, shift, move, and position me when my inflammation is awful & my entire body hurts."

"Like what I’ve told you many times, in a perfect world, your Lola Cory deserved a bunso as unspoiled, no hint of brattiness, respectful, polite & affectionate to all, thoughtful & kind hearted, obedient, masipag mag-homework, marunong magbudget sa pera, and inuuna ang iba bago ang sarili like YOU… Kuya and I lovelovelove you- people have said many times na maganda ang pagpapalaki ko sa inyo- thank you."

"But in all honesty, the 2 of you make me shine as a mom, with Kuya & you- I feel just how REAL God’s love is, and how despite what our family is going through- we remain blessed much more than what we could have prayed for."

Marami naman sa mga kaibigang celebrities at netizens ang nagpaabot ng pagbati sa kaarawan ni Bimby, at nabagbag ang damdamin sa pagpupugay ng ina para sa kaniyang anak na hindi nang-iwan sa kaniya.
