Sylvia Sanchez is happy to finally be reunited with her children

After more than a month of being separated from her children, Sylvia Sanchez and her husband Art Atayde are happy to share their first Sunday together with their children which includes Arjo, Ria, Gela, and Xavi. The actress and her husband both tested positive for the COVID-19 virus last March but were able to recover and have now tested negative for the disease since mid-April. On her Instagram account last May 3, Sylvia shared the good news including some touching photos of her being able to touch her children again during a meal as a whole family again last Sunday.

She wrote, “Praise and thank you GOD. After 1 month & 9 days, we can now hug, kiss, play, and eat together wd our kids.

Tandang tanda ko yong pakiramdam ko na di namin pwedeng malapitan, mayakap o mahalikan ang mga anak namin. Ang lungkot! Napakalungkot.

Bilang isang ina, araw araw dinudurog puso ko pag naiisip ko na posible naming nahawa mga anak namin. Yan ang pinaka kinakatakutan ko habang nakikipaglaban kami mag asawa sa COVID yan ang pinagdarasal ko araw araw sa hospital bed ko na sana wag mangyari.

But today I am grateful to GOD that He heard and answered our prayers. My husband and I are now okay and reunited with our children. Finally, nayakap na namin mga anak namin kaninang lunch. Yahoooo!!! Ang sarap sarap ng pakiramdam!! Ang saya, saya. Thank you to our family, friends, ABS-CBN family, Beautederm family, Sylvianians, Rialistic, Arjo’s angels, ArmaineLovers, team atayde and to all the fans and everyone who prayed for our recovery. But most of all, thank you to all the frontliners that took care of us and to those who continue to fight for everyone. It was not an easy fight but we won because of your unending prayers and love. And with the Grace and Love of GOD Ngayon, haharapin namin ang buhay ulit nang magkakasama. At patuloy kong pinagdarasal na matapos na ang virus na to. In JESUS name. #blessed #priceless #family #happiness #mygreatestloves
#healtheworldLORD #thankuLORD

Happy afternoon!”
