Chesca and Gavin


Chesca Garcia on Gavin Kramer's birthday: “What I admire most about you is your honesty and truthfulness.”

Host, actress and social media influencer Chesca Garcia-Kramer warmed the hearts of her many followers on Instagram because of her heartfelt letter dedicated to her only son, Gavin, who turned 11 years old last January 15.

The wife of former PBA cager Doug Kramer uploaded a short video featuring Gavin and wrote in the caption how much she loves her son, whom she described as someone who shows a lot of maturity already.

Chesca wrote, “I thank the Lord every day for blessing me with a wonderful son like you. Your sweet nature, sense of humor, and playful spirit bring so much joy to our family. Your obedience and thoughtfulness never fail to touch my heart, and I cherish our deep and meaningful conversations. The sincerity and truth in your words often surprise me, and I am grateful for the bond we have.

She continued, “Your unique way of showing love by giving each member of our household a special term of endearment (babe, sweetheart, honey, darling, baby girl) is so genuinely you. It warms my heart to hear you call the ladies at home with such affection. But what I admire most about you is your honesty and truthfulness. Your respect for seeking permission, even for the smallest things, and your graceful acceptance of a "no" show a maturity beyond your years.”

Mommy Chesca also shared to her Instagram followers a conversation that stuck in her memory, when Gavin was just eight.

“Gavin, my greatest wish for you is to continue nurturing your love for the Lord. I will never forget the moment when you, at the tender age of [eight], expressed your love for Jesus. I remember you telling me, 'Mama, I love Jesus so much I can feel it in my stomach!' I love that about you. So sincere and funny at the same time,” she recalled.

“As I prayed for you this morning, I encouraged you to use the skills, talents, and opportunities that God has given you to glorify Him and to be a blessing to others. May you never forget that.”

“Thank you for your sweet embraces after every prayer I say for you... Even when you're rushing already.

The celebrity mom also reminded her son that the whole family will be there to support him no matter what.

“Remember, Mommy, Papa, and Ates will always be here to support you, speak words of life, and shower you with blessings.

'There are countless reasons why you are dearly loved, and I look forward to sharing them with you in private moments of affection, encouragement, and gentle guidance. Always remember, Gavin, that you are cherished beyond measure. We love you!!!"

Doug Kramer also took to social media to greet Gavin on his special day and expressed how much he is proud of him.

He posted on Instagram, "A father's greatest pride is watching his son become a better man than he ever was… Slowly but surely, I have no doubt that you will become a better version of me Gavin. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Happy, happy 11th birthday to my one and only boy.”

Gavin has two other siblings named Kendra and Scarlett.
