INALALA ni Kris Aquino ang death anniversary ng amang si former Sen. Ninoy Aquino ngayong araw, Aug. 21 sa pamamagitan ng isang throwback photo.
In-assasinate si Ninoy habang pababa ng eroplano sa Manila International Airport noong Aug. 21, 1983.
Nag-post ang TV host-actress sa Instagram ng lumang litrato nila ng yumaong ama at inang si dating Pangulong Cory Aquino na kuha sa Boston, USA.
Dito, binalikan ni Kris ang masasayang panahong magkasama pa sila ng ama at ang mga aral ng buhay na natutunan niya mula sa senador.
“God greatly blessed me for that was the only time in my life I experienced what having a dad was really like.
“My mom told me I was lucky because my dad made time for me to truly get to know him (I was 1 year & 7 months old when he was imprisoned) and he worked hard to win my love- I was the bunso that got the most & the best of him (maybe he had an inkling that we only had 3 years of borrowed time),” simulang caption ni Kris sa ibinahagi niyang photo.
Patuloy pa niya, “He went to all my school programs, went with my mom and charmed all the Sisters teaching in my school when it was time to get my report card, and we had monthly “just the 2 of us” book shopping and ice cream dates…
“I know I’ve shared this story many times, when “Return of the Jedi” had its opening day, my dad patiently waited in line with me (almost 4 hours) so we could watch together. The local news was interviewing those in line & I was 1 of those chosen.
“My dad was so excited & since that was before cellphones, he left me & went home to tell my mom to please record the local news just in case I was chosen as part of the feature.
“Maybe even in 1983 they were already conscious about diversity, and my soundbite did air. When we got home, and my dad & I watched the tape, it remains unforgettable for me the look of pride in his face.”
Sa huling bahagi ng kanyang post, sinabi ni Kris ang biggest lessons na natutunan niya sa mga magulang, “From my parents I have learned that the strength and resiliency of our children, and their determination to work hard to fulfill their ambitions will come from the love & encouragement they saw in the eyes of their parents.
“Thanks to my Dad for allowing me to believe that my dreams could & would come true, because looking back, ALMOST everything we ever discussed- they did come true. Isa na lang ang utang ko sa kanya,” ani Kris pero hindi naman niya binanggit kung anong utang ito.
Kayo na ang bahalang manghula kung anong utang ang tinutukoy ni Kris.
