Many netizens got teary-eyed watching Dimples Romana's recent video detailing her reunion with her eldest, Callie, in Australia.
The actress' 18-year-old daughter is currently pursuing her dream of becoming a pilot there.
"SURPRISE," Dimples wrote as caption.
"@callieahmee is my first born, my rock, my anchor. And ever since she left for college and stay here in Australia, I’ve been having bad homesickness from not seeing her plus terrible post partum blues pa," the mother of three added.
According to her, she actually "accepted" that it would take them some time to get together again because of various circumstances.

"Kuya Alonzo is going to big school na, I was going to give birth to Elio and basically all the odds were against Callie and I being together and I, being there for her for her milestones here as a student pilot," she related. "But the Lord knows how my heart yearns to be with her. And He has heard my silent prayers."
Dimples maintained husband Boyet Ahmee was supposed to fly there with her, but his visa was taking too long so she decided to to go ahead.

"(But of course I cannot stay long, leaving na din in a few days for my boys) but ultimately we didn’t want Ate to feel that, just because a lot of things have been happening in Manila for our new family set up, that she wasn’t a priority anymore and that we can’t be there for her just the same way we’ve always been when she was little up until the time she left for college," Dimples said.
"Ate din ako, panganay, at kadalasan even if I wanted to say I needed my family more, I won’t say it. Lagi ko kasing iniisip na Baka mas kailangan ng mga kapatid ko. Hindi pa mandin nagsasalita itong anak namin to. She’d rather keep it to herself than tell us she needs us. Napakabait."
So it's their way of making sure that all of their children, regardless of location, would ever feel they’re less valued than their siblings.
"Sacrifices have been made being away from each other, but all in all, as @callieahmee would say every end of day, 'thank you for TODAY' (heart emoji)," she ended.
