Muling nakapiling ni Kris Aquino ang mga anak niyang sina Joshua Aquino at Bimby Yap sa Los Angeles, California.
Sa Instagram kahapon, July 2, 2023, nagbahagi si Kris ng ilang larawan ng reunion nila ng mga anak na kuha sa Los Angeles International Airport.
Ikinuwento ni Kris kung paano niya sinabi kay Bimby ang kanyang naramdamang “deep bone pain” at kung paano siya nahirapang maglakad.
Sa pag-uusap nila ng mga anak sa FaceTime, tinanong din daw niya si Josh kung gusto ba nitong sumama upang mabisita siya. Pumayag naman daw ito.
Saad ni Kris, “There are so many people to thank for the love, care, and compassion they gave me & the 2 I love most. I’ve already started sending my personal THANK YOU messages.
“My pictures were ready to share- memorable moments of kuya Josh & Bimb w/ their Tito Noy timed for his 2nd death anniversary, but each time I tried to edit, I kept crying- because I can never forget how much he hated when the 3 of us weren’t together.
“I’d like to believe my ‘Kuya’ is still keeping his deathbed promise to our mom, to be patient & protective of ‘bunso’, kuya Josh, and bimb… it was on June 24 LA time, making it Sunday, June 25 in the PH (PH is 15 hours ahead of LA) when I told bimb the deep bone pain I felt in my joints & lower back was getting worse, walking was becoming harder because of my swollen right knee, and I needed him to please come back earlier.
“Since naka FaceTime, I asked kuya kung gusto nyang sumama to visit mama in LA? Nagulat ako when he said 'yes, mama- sama ako with bimby sa LA.'
"I told Kuya to think about it. Nag FaceTime kami the next morning and i asked- what’s your decision, kuya? He said: mama, I’ll visit you in LA. I asked him SURE KA NA BA? Siguro tumatak na kay kuya, ang sagot nya: SURE NA.”
Nais daw ni Kris na lumaki si Bimby na parang normal na teenager, pero mahirap daw ang mga pagdadaanan niya dahil sa naka-schedule niyang chemotherapy.
Inamin niyang naging bedridden siya ng ilang araw dahil sa mga gamot na kanyang tini-take.
Dagdag niya, “I wanted for Bimb to experience normal teenage life & kuya’s happy place is Alto, our family compound in Tarlac… pero mahirap mag chemotherapy medication as part of my immunosuppressant therapy without the support system of family.
“I’m allergic to all NSAIDS, pain relievers, pain killers, and I have an adverse reaction to all steroids.
“Aamin ako w/ methotrexate + Fasenra (my biological injectable, tapos na ko sa 1st cycle) ang feeling ko 3-4 days of extreme fatigue, chills, headaches, and everything has a metallic taste.
“Bedridden ako at halos ‘di makagalaw-sa lahat ng dumaan sa matinding chemotherapy-saludo ako sa tatag ninyo.”
Ayon pa kay Kris, ang kanyang dalawang anak ang dahilan para hindi bumigay sa daming pagsubok na kanyang kinakaharap.
Pagtatapos ni Kris, “Kuya & Bimb are my living reminders to not give up because they still need a healthier mama. ‘Pag mahal mo, hinding hindi ka susuko, itutuloy ang LABAN.
“Tonight I’ll sleep ‘siksik’ in between my 2 giants. Muling nabuo kaming 3, thank you God for making me a very happy mama. [heart emoji]”
