"I shall always live up to my promise to Lola Cory that I will make sure that you will always have a comfortable life, and you know that when I'm no longer here, come what may Bimb will always take care of all your needs." - Kris Aquino 
 

Kris Aquino's panganay, Kuya Josh, turns 22 today (June 4) and being the super mom that Kris is, she took time to give her gentle giant a very sweet and heartfelt birthday greeting.

HEART TO HEART WITH KRIS: Entry #11 Happy Birthday Kuya Josh!

Heart to Heart with Kris: Entry #11 Happy Birthday Kuya Josh! How I wish Lola Cory was alive to see how much you've matured, how much you've been nurtured by Therabilities, how much being "laking Lola" has shaped your generosity, kindness, and respectfulness to all. How you never forget a person's name and address everybody as Lolo, Lola, Tito, Tita, Manong, Manang, Boss, Kuya, or Ate. I wish she could see how tall you are, how good you look in your size medium shirts, size 33 waist, length 32 jeans, and size 12 sneakers. How you've maintained your 200 pounds/91 kilos weight spread out in your 74 inches/1.88 meter height. How you always lead grace before all our meals. How everybody who sees you regularly at Kerry Sports, at Dra Javellana's clinic, at Therabilities, at Group Therapy, at the Studio Fix salon- how they all proudly tell me just how sweet and polite you always are. Tomorrow is your day but I have to share a lot of the "mothering" credit with Yaya Bincai. She is the disciplinarian and she is the one always present. I'm a good provider, but I do work a lot, and you've outgrown being a roommate to Bimb and me. I used to question God why Kuya had to be born with so many developmental disadvantages, but now that Bimb is growing up I realize how much his condition has actually been a blessing because he's been shielded from the occasional cruelty and mockery of evil, heartless people who just get a demonic thrill out of being vicious bullies. And I know because Josh has such a pure heart, he is going straight to heaven, and for that alone I am eternally grateful to God. To my panganay- thank you for the privilege of being your Mama, and being Bimb's Kuya. I shall always live up to my promise to Lola Cory that I will make sure that you will always have a comfortable life, and you know that when I'm no longer here, come what may Bimb will always take care of all your needs. We love you our gentle giant! ~ Kris #HeartToHeartWithKris

On her Facebook post, Kris talked about just how much her mother would love to witness Kuya Josh as he continues to grow older.

According to Kris, "How I wish Lola Cory was alive to see how much you've matured, how much you've been nurtured by Therabilities, how much being "laking Lola" has shaped your generosity, kindness, and respectfulness to all."

The Queen of All Media also talked about her son's developmental disadvantages and how she came to terms with it.

"I used to question God why Kuya had to be born with so many developmental disadvantages, but now that Bimb is growing up I realize how much his condition has actually been a blessing because he's been shielded from the occasional cruelty and mockery of evil, heartless people who just get a demonic thrill out of being vicious bullies. And I know because Josh has such a pure heart, he is going straight to heaven, and for that alone I am eternally grateful to God," wrote she.

Lastly, Kris thanked her Kuya Josh for being such a great son to her, "To my panganay- thank you for the privilege of being your Mama, and being Bimb's Kuya. I shall always live up to my promise to Lola Cory that I will make sure that you will always have a comfortable life, and you know that when I'm no longer here, come what may Bimb will always take care of all your needs. We love you our gentle giant!"

Happy 22nd birthday, Kuya Josh!
