Kris Aquino fears she won’t be around for son Bimby’s birthday next year

In honor of her younger son Bimby Aquino Yap’s 17th birthday this year, Kris Aquino shared in her latest social media post how grateful she feels to be able to celebrate with him in their current home in Orange Country, California. The multimedia personality and host has been based in the US for a couple of years now after being diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases and has been undergoing several rounds of treatments.
In her Instagram post on April 19, Kris also took the opportunity to share a health update which saddened her because she fears not being around for Bimby’s birthday next year.

In her post, she wrote, “There’s a lot i haven’t shared with you about the current state of my health, primarily because my news has mostly been sad… April 19, 2007 I gave birth to my living guardian angel… in the past month with kuya Josh back in the 🇵🇭, and because of several vaccines I needed to be given—Bimb kept me company while I quarantined… ayokong sirain ang dapat good vibes sa 17th birthday ni Bimb BUT I also know for all those praying for us I owe you the TRUTH. Padaanin lang natin please ang April 19 (happy birthday to our beloved @chinitaprincess 🥰)…



“To Bimb, I’m keeping the promise i made to you- September 28, 2018 when we first knew there was something scary about my sudden weight loss and my complete blood test result. I’m sorry for showing weakness yesterday when I cried nonstop because of my fear that I may not be around to be with you on your 18th birthday.”

Halfway through her post, Kris also shared how proud she is of her second born because of how he has been taking care of her and his older brother Josh, who has autism.

“It’s my bad for not being grateful that against all odds, with 5 autoimmune conditions, 3 of them that are life threatening I failed to see the glass as being half full BECAUSE you’ve matured so much and you’re always ready to help my nurses, and though I know you’re also freaked, you still show CALM & absolute FAITH in God when my BP and heart rate reach scary high numbers. No matter how much physical pain i endure daily—my heart overflows with love because of your caring, selfless, unconditional LOVE.

“My one wish is for your character to remain STRONG, your values and integrity stay ADMIRABLE, your respectful and polite manner UNCHANGED, and your passion for learning will continue to inspire you to make the most of your education. I LOVE YOU not only during my lifetime or yours BUT definitely for eternity. You’re my greatest achievement because of your capacity to love- this early you’ve embraced your responsibility to take care of your kuya, and since you were 11 years old, you’ve been so protective of me. Love doesn’t die my 🍯, please remember that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the love of my life.”

It was just last January when Kris first revealed that Bimby had plans to enter the local showbiz industry this year in order to help with the skyrocketing medical bills. But in March, the younger Aquino made the decision to stay in the US to be able to look after his mom.
