KANINA naman, nag-post ng mahabang mensahe si Kris para sa kanyang inang si dating pangulong Cory Aquino bilang pag-alala sa pagpanaw nito. Narito ang ilang bahagi ng IG post ni Tetay.
“2 AM, August 1, 2009 you said goodbye to us; you battled cancer willingly because you knew we needed those 17 borrowed months w/ you… your time of death & the date- had eerily the same numbers present as dad’s. He was killed 1 PM, August 21. In my heart i’m sure you’re happy in heaven now reunited w/ the only man you ever loved.
“Because of what i saw in you, i can still believe that TRUE, COMMITTED, & ENDURING LOVE is REAL because Dad was your 1st, last, & only love… You’d tease me that my perfect match would be a male Cory for a lifetime partner because you said i was the female Ninoy, and only a male version of you would understand the passionate ‘tigas ulo/bawal sumuko/kakayanin lahat’ in me… Mom, malabo na sigurong mangyari pa yun.
“Nanghihinayang lang ako na hindi mo naabutan yung development ni kuya Josh & how slim, respectful, generous in sharing, effortlessly kindhearted, polite, gentle & appreciative he’s grown up to be… since Bimb was only 2- you didn’t fully experience the male Kris in your youngest apo. For sure you’d be the proudest w/ how he’s turning out: excellent grades, articulate, truthful, protective, driven, caring, and responsible.
“But you’d also be laughing that just like his Mom- wala syang preno sa kadaldalan, he remembers everything & is always ready w/ HIS opinion. I don’t doubt you’re proud of all i achieved- but i hope from heaven you’re seeing pinipilit & pinagsisikapan kong maging ‘good mom’ -because i had the BEST role model in YOU.
“You know August has always been tough for us- but you instilled dignity & strength in all your children. So maybe, hopefully you no longer worry about us.”
