Kim Chiu, the Kapamilya star, recently expressed her heartfelt gratitude for her older sister, Lakam Chiu, in a birthday message on Instagram. Kim shared that Lakam had been in a “very critical stage” at the hospital a few months ago but has since recovered from an undisclosed medical condition.
In her post, Kim thanked the Lord for answering her prayers and expressed relief that her sister’s health has improved. She reflected on the difficult experience they went through, stating that her world collapsed when Lakam fell ill, and she wanted to erase that memory from her mind.
Lakam, who spent 18 days in the hospital, shared her own perspective on Instagram after being discharged. She revealed that she was unable to talk, hear, or see during the first five days and that her family had to make life-changing decisions without knowing if she would survive. Despite the challenges, Lakam celebrated her birthday surrounded by family and friends.
Kim continued her birthday message by praising Lakam for being her rock and supporting her in both tough and good times. She described her sister as their family’s “wonder woman” and expressed her gratitude for her unconditional love. Kim also credited Padre Pio, whom she is a devotee of, for the gift of life and emphasized the importance of faith and trust.
Lakam, in her own Instagram posts, expressed her appreciation for Kim, calling her the reason for making things possible and feeling loved. The birthday celebration included surprises and a special birthday dinner.
Kim and Lakam’s bond and love for each other were evident throughout their heartfelt messages. They are grateful for each other’s support and love and consider themselves each other’s half. The birthday celebration serves as a reminder of the preciousness of life and the importance of cherishing family and loved ones.
