NOONG August 6 ipinagdiwang ni Gary Valenciano ang kanyang 61st birthday kasabay ang 41st wedding anniversary nila ng asawang si Angeli Pangilinan.
Pinakasalan ng award-winning singer si Tita Angeli noong 20th birthday niya – August 6, 1984.
Sa pamamagitan ng social media, ibinandera ni tita Angeli ang kanyang birthday at anniversary message para sa tinaguriang Mr. Pure Energy ng music industry.
Ayon kay Tita Angeli, noong 1978 daw ay sinabi ng mga doktor na ang estimated lifespan ni Gary ay tatagal lamang ng hanggang 30 years dahil sa klase ng diabetes na tumama sa kanya.
”I have a testimony to share. When I married Gary, he turned 20 that day August 6. 1984. We had a civil wedding! Soon after, the doctor told me that his estimated life span was 30 years after date of diagnosis of his Type 1 insulin dependent juvenile diabetes ~ 1978.
“Meaning his estimated life span was till 2008. At age 44. And I said to myself that was still so far away in 1984!
“But that was when diabetes management was not advanced and through the years technology gave us real-time glucose monitoring gadgets that allowed him to check his sugar levels 3-4 times a day. Thus extending his life span,” pahayag ng misis ni Gary V.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “I also researched a lot through books I bought and encyclopedias (then when there was no Internet) !!! Today he can check his sugar levels every hour through a gadget attached to his arm plus we have what we call Glucagon like an Epi-pen for first aid!
“Meantime the internet has taught me a lot through the various medical platforms plus the added open source available apps like Chat GPT and GROK. Also, he tightened his daily diet and regularized his exercise.
“So now, his eyes, which are a window to the state of his health has always been glaucoma-free! Miraculously today the grade of his eyes even went down after 47 years of the disease,” aniya pa.
Kaya naman palaging abot-langit ang pasasalamat ni Tita Angeli sa bawat kaarawan ni Gary na aniya’y maituturing nilang tunay na himala.
“Every year of Gary’s life is a bonus from God! I want to praise and glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ ! We have three, no four children. Paolo and his wife Sam. Gab. Kiana and her husband Sandro. Plus a special foster son, Fili. And two grandchildren Leia and Luch!”
