Gary V took to Instagram to write a sweet and lengthy birthday message for his wife, Angeli Pangilinan, on August 26.
In his message, Gary thanked Angeli for being by his side through the ups and downs of life.
"Through the very best and the very worst of times this woman has stood by me and for me. So often she's been misunderstood and judged for her uncompromising efforts in doing and sticking to what is right. No she's not perfect but it's wonderful to see and know how many she's helped in very special ways," he wrote.
Gary also noted how he wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for his wife.
According to him, "It's not easy living with an artist like me; living with the health conditions I have, yet after everything that has come our way...she's still here loving me the way a wife should. She is one major reason why I literally am still alive today."
Gary has had Type 1 diabetes since his teenage years. In 2018, he had surgery to remove the cancer from his kidney and had heart bypass surgery. Gary was then declared cancer-free by 2019.
The veteran performer ended his letter by thanking Angeli once more.
"There may be things in me that still need fixing up but I know that with every step I take she'll be there praying for me as she always has. And in the end...when our finish lines are in sight...she will still be there with me. I love you Angeli. Thank you for all that you are hon. Have a happy and richly blessed birthday," Gary wrote.
Last August 6, the couple celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary which was also Gary's 56th birthday. The two also received a heartfelt message from their son, Gab Valenciano.
