“To my daughter. My little girl yesterday. My friend today. And my daughter forever,” she wrote.

The celebrity mom added how she will always be in support of her daughter’s decisions but maintained that she will continue to be the little girl in her eyes.

“I will try and respect the fact that the decisions you will make are your own but you must understand that to me YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LITTLE GIRL. I MAY NOT CARRY YOU IN MY ARMS ANYMORE, BUT I WILL ALWAYS CARRY YOU IN MY HEART,” she added.

“I AM PROUD OF YOU AND LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY, MY BUNSO,” she ended.

Friends and fans of the actress shared their birthday wishes and messages in the comment section of Min’s post. Dimples Romana, who served as Kathryn’s mom in Mara Clara, took to her Instagram Stories to greet the actress.

“Happy happy birthday beautiful… So many years have passed and I’m so grateful for our friendship like family, so many victories along the way baby and yet your genuine pure soul radiates with wisdom, courage and grace and most of all humility. Have a blast for ate. We will celebrate soon together, I promise. Love you forever,” Dimples shared.

Earlier this month, Kathryn opened up about the birthday blues she’s been having as she neared 29. She expressed how she’ll be allowing herself to be more vulnerable during this season in her life.

“It’s my way of getting to know myself more and growing. Yes, I’m scared–– I don’t know what would happen. I don’t know if I could do it but I’m just very open and I’m here for growth so wish me luck in the coming months,” she previously shared.
