She disclosed how her “gentle giant” only has love in his heart. She also revealed her vulnerable side when it comes to her two sons.
The love of Kris’s “gentle giant”
In the first photo, Kris admitted that she had a hard time getting Josh to sleep. He would plead to her not to have dextrose for his tests.
“Nahirapan akong patulugin si kuya- understandable kasi paulit ulit nya kong sinsabihan na ‘mama, no dextrose please?’ Afternoon i-co-confine na sya for prepping for his Thursday tests.”
Although they were in the same room, Josh would text Kris asking her to follow her to the hospital. He also thanked her for the trips they had for his birthday.
“3X nya kong tinext- nung nasa surprise birthday gathering, tapos pauwi, and bago sya finally nakatulog (kahit same room kami)- “mama please follow me sa hospital tomorrow night?” Before that dahil nauna syang umuwi he text “take care mama, thank you for the HK trip. I love you so much.””
Kris also revealed how her “gentle giant” understands that she needed to attend block screenings. Josh just requested her and Bimby to sleep with him in the hospital.
“Yung gentle giant ko nauunawaan na mga supporters ni mama nagpa block screenings, kaya okay na sya basta lang makasunod ako & kami ni Bimb sleep sa hospital kasama nya. Ganito po yung LOVE ng “special child” ko sa kin- suportado na may mga kailangan samahan manuod para mag THANK YOU- never nag reklamo na kailangan nilang i-share ang mama nila.”
Kris also wrote how Josh said that he and Bimby will make her happy. She just wanted to share a part of their private lives.
“Bago talaga sya matulog sinabi nya “happy ka na mama? Bimb & me will make you happy.” #satruelang ano pa po ang pwede kong hingin dito sa dalawang anghel na parating uunahin ang mama nila. Ito po ang konting pag SHARE sa pribadong buhay namin.”
Kris knows that not many people know them personally. She also expressed her gratitude to those who adopted them, loved them and supported them.
“Kaming tatlo lang SOLID na- but my heart knows marami sa inyong di man kami personal na nakilala- dito lang nyo nasisilip ang buhay at mga pinagdadaanan ng tatlong mag-iina, pero inampon nyo na kami at binigay yung priceless gift- ginawa ninyong parte kami ng mga buhay nyo. On behalf of kuya josh & bimb- THANK YOU for making us feel #loved. 🌈“

Kris makes peace with Noynoy for Josh

“i chose to live my life openly- kaya nga maraming pwedeng humusga, pero na bless kasi marami rin ang nagmamahal… with true HUMILITY i will share our story & hope that some of you will learn from our journey. my brother & i have had a complicated relationship, siguro po kasi only son & middle child sya, bunso ako. Siguro rin kasi aminadong opposites talaga kami- tahimik sya, pribado, iniisip mabuti ang bawat galaw. Alam nyo na kung ano ako.”
Kris admitted that it had been three months that they were not okay and she took the blame for it. However, Josh suffered in this rift which made Kris swallowed her pride and texted her older brother. She also knew how Josh needed Noynoy, as he is the only male figure in his life.
“Dahil #satruelang, 3 months po kaming hindi okay. Kasalanan ko po yun… Naipit yung 2 boys ko- alam nilang di okay kaya pinili na wag dumalaw at wag iwan si mama… Ang pinaka nag suffer si kuya josh. Sa bawat pag ospital- si tito Noy was always there. Kinapalan ko po ang mukha ko today- nag text ako. Umamin na alam kong na hurt ko sya pero nakiusap- KAILANGAN sya ni kuya josh. My son needed him- the ONLY constant male figure in his life.”
Kris took the picture from afar. She also wanted to share this to her fans who she considered as family. She also shared what he told her older brother.
“From afar, i took this picture. Sharing w/ you because ito kami- PAMILYA na kagaya nyong lahat. Kayang isantabi lahat ng tampuhan dahil hindi mag iiwanan- gagawin ang lahat sa oras ng pangangailangan- dahil may isang “special” na batang inosente na kukuha ng lakas sa pagmamahal ng tito Noy at mama nya. My brother is not active on social media, pero uulitin ko dito yung nasabi ko sa kanya- THANK YOU for LOVING JOSH ENOUGH to be here when he really needed you.”
Kris also revealed the true and real Noynoy who deserved respect and admiration from other people.
“This is for all of you to get to know the real man, the true NOY AQUINO who is so deserving of RESPECT & ADMIRATION, galing po sa hindi perpekto pero totoong bunsong kapatid, na si kris aquino. 💛 (thank you Mom, from heaven i know you made this possible.)“

Josh’s results and initial findings
Kris revealed Josh’s results and initial findings: erosive esophagitis due to severe acid reflux and ulcers. She also noted that he shouldn’t have digestive issues this severe at his age.
“(Part 2 of 2) It is only proper that i share w/ you his results & initial findings: EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS DUE TO SEVERE ACID REFLUX and ULCERS. He’s now finally sleeping together w/ Bimb- but they have to do a biopsy of what they had scraped from kuya because a healthy (based on blood works & absence of tumor markers), 23 year old shouldn’t have his severe digestive issues & our doctors want to be thorough.”
Kris also added that Josh will be on medication for weeks and he will have do repeat colonoscopy. She also expressed her gratitude to the prayers and support for their family.
“He’ll be on medication for 12 weeks & we’ll do a repeat colonoscopy. Magtitiwala po ako na sa dami nyong nagdarasal para sa kay kuya, God will heal him. From a mother na hindi kinayang magpahinga hangga’t hindi mahimbing ang tulog ng kanyang 2, at alam na kailangan magbahagi ng totoong diagnosis dahil minamahal nyo ang mga anak ko- THANK YOU… Hindi ko po malilimutan ang kabutihang puso na pinakita ninyo sa ‘min. You are all our guardian angels & rainbows in the storms of our family’s journey.“
