Actress LJ Reyes spent Mother’s Day with a reflection on the important role that parents play in their children’s lives.
“Paano nga ba maging isang magulang? Paano nga ba magdesisyon para sa buhay ng iba?” LJ asked in an Instagram post.
“Carried them inside your body for 9 months, will be taking care of them ’til they can stand on their own, but you never really stop ‘taking care’ of them. And in the very long time that you have to make decisions on their behalf, paano nga ba piliin ang tama?”
LJ said that while there is no specific handbook for parents, she always comes back to one thing — love.
“Wala namang iisang paraan kung paano maging magulang. There could be a lot of things that is uncertain and not ideal, but one thing remains certain and true — that LOVE would hold you altogether.”
She added that she realized they have been through a lot of ups and downs but LJ made sure to make Aki and Summer feel loved “in every sense of the word.”
“We love because God loved us first. And I experience God’s love through them. Kaya naman nag-uumapaw yung pagmamahal na kaya kong ibigay sa kanila. Hindi ako perfect, pero ang alam ko lang mahal na mahal ko sila— buong buo, siksik na siksik, umaapaw,” LJ narrated.
“Cheers to all the amazing mommas!”
She also shared a text message sent by Aki to greet her on the special occasion while she was away for work.
“Happy Mother’s Day Mom,” it reads, along with a photo of him and Summer.
