“Last year lang din kami naging healthy ng family ko,” she recalled, describing a meaningful hug that symbolized their renewed love and connection. She also recounted how her perspective began to change and how she chose to seek peace instead of holding on to anger.
“Inopen up ko sa kaniya na gustong-gusto ko siyang bigyan ng chance para maging tatay. Last year, I found peace. Hindi ko alam pero nagising na lang ako na gusto kong patawarin ‘yong parents ko,” Xyriel said, suggesting a newfound hope and understanding in their relationship.
She admitted that while she had chosen to hold a grudge for a long time, in the end, her desire to heal the wounds of the past prevailed. “Ang dami kong rason para magtanim ng sama ng loob,” she said, “pero narealize ko lang na first time rin nila maging magulang.”
The most touching part of her story came when she read a letter from her father. It was a heartfelt message of apology and unconditional love. “Mahal na mahal ka namin… Sorry sa lahat ng pagkukulang ko,” read part of the letter, which moved Xyriel to tears—along with several of her housemates.
Her emotional revelation served as a powerful reminder that forgiveness and understanding can be the key to rebuilding a once-broken family.
