'Mamimiss kita Inay': Maymay Entrata mourns passing of mom Lorna
MANILA, Philippines — Singer-actress Maymay Entrata is mourning the passing of her mother Lorna, who died after a two-year battle with cancer.
Maymay confirmed her mother's passing on social media, posting on Instagram a video she took of them walking together in Japan.
In the post's caption, Maymay penned a letter to Lorna, calling it a great honor to call her her mother and praised Lorna for braving challenges and sacrifices to raise their family.
"Mamimiss kita Inay, mamimiss ko ang taong nagmahal at habang buhay mamahalin ako ng buo," Maymay said. "Sa'yo ko natutunan ang magmahal nang walang kapalit at habang buhay dala dala ko lahat ng natutunan ko mula sayo."
"Maraming salamat sa iniwan mong kayamanan Inay, Kayamanang hindi galing sa lupa pero kayamang galing sa pagmahahal ng walang katumbas. Mahal na mahal kita Inay ko at wala akong pinagsisihan sa lahat ng sakrpisyo kong makita ka lang maging masaya lagi. Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita mahal kong Inay," she continued.
The singer-actress then told the public to hug and cherish their loved ones while they were still alive.
"O, paramdam nyo kung gaano n'yo sila kamahal, at huwag n'yong sayangin ang kahit isang araw na hindi ipinapakita po 'yon. Sapagkat darating ang araw na ang mga yakap ay alaala na lang, at ang mga salitang hindi nasabi ay magiging bigat sa puso. Huwag kayong maghintay ng huli bago magsimulang magmahal nang buo," Maymay ended.
Maymay revealed Lorna's cancer diagnosis last month and had been flying frequently to Japan, where her mother was based, to look after her.
She is also looking after her grandmother in Cagayan de Oro who is currently undergoing dialysis.
