Former president Cory Aquino: "Whatever the Lord wants, I'm prepared to accept it."
April 20, 2008
“Yung mom ko talaga kasi feeling namin sa family, lumalakas siya talaga and nagre-respond well sa chemotherapy dahil sa lahat ng taong nagdadasal para sa kanya. I think what my mom is going through is difficult, pero dahil nararamdaman niya na ang daming people who love her, who care about her, nakakatulong naman talaga yun,” says Kris Aquino (inset) about the condition of her mother, former president Cory Aquino.
Naganap ang paghahatid ng pasasalamat ni President Aquino sa lahat ng nanalangin para sa kanyang mabilis na paggaling sa coverage ng The Buzz sa first birthday celebration ng kanyang apo na si Baby James, ang anak nina Kris at James Yap, last April 19.
“Well, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who’s been praying for me. I’m very, very overwhelmed,” bungad niya sa The Buzz host na si Boy Abunda.
“I never knew so many people cared. So, continue to pray for others who are also in the similar situation. I really am fortunate. I have no pain. I just get tired easily. So, I guess whatever the Lord wants, I’m prepared to accept it.”
Sabi naman ni Kris na nasa tabi ni ex-president Aquino, “Di ba, Mom, nakaka-touch talaga? Everybody keeps praying. And I think that’s what has kept all of us strong. And all the cards from people I know and I don’t know, it’s really amazing. I really cannot ask for more.”
Masaya naman ang pamilya ni Aquino dahil at least, she’s strong enough to make it at Baby James’s birthday. Nagpasalamat din si Kris sa lahat ng nagmamahal sa kanyang ina.
“I think on behalf of everybody din, sa family, di ba? I’ll take the opportunity to say thank you! Touched na touched po everybody talaga kasi sa pagmamahal na ipinapakita sa ‘yo,” sabi ni Kris sa kanyang ina.
Dagdag niya, “Yung mom ko talaga kasi feeling namin sa family, lumalakas siya talaga and nagre-respond well sa chemotherapy dahil sa lahat ng taong nagdadasal para sa kanya. I think what my mom is going through is difficult, pero dahil nararamdaman niya na ang daming people who love her, who care about her, nakakatulong naman talaga yun.”
Mas lalo raw tumibay ang pagmamahalan sa kanilang pamilya dahil sa kalagayan ng dating pangulo.
“I think kaming mga anak niya, gusto lang namin talaga to make her as comfortable as possible and to ease the suffering. Gusto lang namin sabihin sa mom namin na we love her very much. Super prinay ko lang talaga na she’ll make it to this birthday,” pahayag ni Kris.
Kasunod nito ang pagkanta ng birthday song ni President Aquino sa kanyang apo.
“To Baby James, I hope you will be a good, good boy and a better basketball player than your dad,” mensahe ni President Aquino para sa apo niya.
Dasal naman ngayon ni Kris na sana ay mai-celebrate pa nila ang Mother’s day next month with President Aquino.
“After Mother’s day, birthday naman ni Josh [anak ni Kris sa aktor na si Phillip Salvador]. Kasi ngayon, kung ano man ang extension na ibigay ni God sa life niya, super thankful kami,” ani Kris.
Sa huli, muling nagpasalamat si President Aquino sa ating mga kababayan.
“Thank you very much mga mahal kong kababayan,” pagtatapos ni President Aquino kasunod ang pagyakap sa kanya ni Baby James.
