Kuya Kim Atienza recently shared a poignant moment as he commemorated his beloved daughter, the late Emman Atienza, during this year's Christmas celebration.
On his Instagram account, the television host posted what would be their last family photo together, captured in New York on Christmas Eve of 2024. The image features the Atienza family, including Kuya Kim, his wife Felicia, and their children Jose, Eliana, and Emman, all dressed in festive holiday outfits.
In his heartfelt post, Kuya Kim expressed, "How we miss you dearest Emmansky." He continued with gratitude, stating, "Thank you Jesus for being born to us amidst suffering and grief. Thank you for the 19 years of Emman. We always trust your plan." This touching message reflects both his sorrow and faith during such a challenging time.
He also extended his appreciation to friends for supporting the family through their darkest hours, acknowledging the importance of community in times of grief.
Emman's passing was announced by her family on October 24, and she was only 19 years old when she left this world. Known for her influence, she was celebrated posthumously with a kindness campaign organized by Sparkle, which aims to continue her legacy of compassion.
After the loss of his daughter, Kuya Kim took a brief hiatus from his professional commitments but made his return to the show "TicktoClock" on November 13, demonstrating his resilience despite the profound loss.
