Queen of All Media Kris Aquino marked the 31st birthday of her eldest son, Josh Aquino, with a touching message on social media.
In an Instagram post, Aquino shared a photo of herself with Josh and expressed her gratitude for her sons’ unwavering support as she continues to battle multiple autoimmune diseases.
According to Aquino, she would not have had the courage and determination to continue her treatments if she were not the mother of Josh and her younger son, Bimby Aquino Yap.
She said the daily pain caused by her Rheumatoid Arthritis often feels unbearable, but her sons give her the strength to keep going.
“Happy Birthday Kuya Josh! Had I not been yours and Bimb’s mama, I wouldn’t have the courage and the purpose to continue with my treatments. The day-to-day pain in my joints caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis would be so unbearable except for the fact that when my legs give up, and I’m about to take a tumble, you and Bimb have developed this 6th sense and are there to catch me.” she said.
She also thanked Josh for encouraging her to get out of bed and leave her room despite the challenges brought by her condition.
The actress-host expressed hope that one day she will be able to join her son in completing 7,000 to 10,000 steps a day.
Aquino said that Josh continues to serve as one of her greatest sources of inspiration as she faces her health battle.
