Queen of All Media Kris Aquino shared how much she cherishes and values his youngest son, Bimby.
In her Instagram post on April 22, Aquino made a heartfelt message for Bimby, who celebrated his 16th birthday on April 19.
In her opening, Aquino wrote, “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.
“Bimb, my [honey emoji], 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.”
She then recalled their “nightmare” in 2018 when she was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions.
“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.”
She also shared how proud and grateful she is to Bimb for taking care of not only her but also his Kuya Josh, a role she should be playing if not only for her illness.
“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 mag budget sa pera, and inuuna ang iba bago ang sarili like YOU.
Aquino and her family are currently in the United States for the treatment of her autoimmune disease.
In April 2022, Aquino was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare and life-threatening disease that needed treatment in the US because their preliminary drug challenge here in the country didn’t work.
Aquino and her kids were able to fly to Houston in June 2022 after getting medical clearance from her doctors.
In August 2022, Kris’ sister Ballsy shared that the host-actress has been diagnosed with another two auto-immune diseases, thus asking for continued prayers for Kris’ healing and recovery.
Meanwhile, for her latest health update in April 2023, Aquino was seen getting much better in the Instagram stories posted by Batangas Vice Gov. Mark Leviste on Easter Sunday.
Leviste posted photos of him together with an obviously more rosy-skinned Kris, Bimby, and other friends doing shopping in the US.
