Last May 29, Ina Raymundo penned a heartfelt letter to daughter Erika Poturnak as they celebrated the latter's graduation ceremony at home.

The celebrity mom shared that Erika's graduation was done via Zoom conference due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Adding, “Despite everything that is happening, you're [Erika] still able to maintain a bright outlook and be a wonderful role model to your little sisters.”

Ina then posted a video of Erika's virtual graduation rites on Instagram showing how they celebrated the milestone at home.

As bleak as it sounds, that doesn't seem to be the case for the Poturnak household because as soon as Erika's name was announced, the entire family gleefully congratulated the graduate.

“Best graduation ever,” wrote Ina that was followed by the hashtags, “#ClassOf2020” and “#ItsNotSoBadAfterAll”

She also posted another video showing her husband Brian looking teary-eyed as he proudly looked at his daughter.

Filled with love, tears, music and laughter. God is Good.💚 @erikarae.p #ZoomGraduation2020 #oneofakindgraduation #ErikaRaePot #Home #bittersweet #temporarynewnormal
