Kris Aquino pens a loving birthday message for Josh.
Former television host and actress Kris Aquino celebrated the 31st birthday of her eldest, Josh, and here’s her message for him.
Josh is the son of Kris Aquino and Phillip Salvador, and recently, he turned 31 years old. Surrounded by loved ones and close friends, they had a simple celebration to mark this special day, and on Instagram, Kris poured out her heart and love for her son through the birthday message she penned for him.
“Had I not been yours and Bimb’s mama, I wouldn’t have the courage and the purpose to continue with my treatments,” Aquino wrote.Â
According to Aquino, her rheumatoid arthritis has made it hard for her to move around, as it’s been causing her pain daily. But with her sons around, she is able to pull through. They were always there to be with her and help her and, most especially, give her reason to fight and continue with the treatment for her multiple autoimmune diseases.
Some of her autoimmune conditions are:
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
- EGPA (Eosinophilic granulomatosis)
- Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Polymyositis
- Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
In her message, she reflected on how being a mother to Josh and his sibling, Bimb, has given her the courage and sense of purpose to keep fighting despite the physical pain she experiences daily. She highlighted her sons’ care and attentiveness, noting how they are always there to support her whenever she struggles physically.
She then praised Josh for encouraging her to stay active and engaged, particularly by helping her get out of bed and spending time with her watching their favorite shows. Calling him her inspiration, she shares her hope of one day being healthy enough to join him on his daily walks.
Kris wrote, “Thank you kuya for your encouragement to get me out of bed as you lead me outside to the living room to watch our favorite shows. You’re the only one who has the power to get me moving. My wish is to one day be able to join you for your daily 7000 to 10,000 steps. You are my inspiration.”
