My Dearest Wife,
Birthdays offer another opportunity for a
new beginning, opportunity to look back
with gratitude at the blessings of God
and also time to look forward with
renewed hope for bigger blessings.
Y O U !
You have been there for me no matter
what. I love you, my dearest wife, and I
am so excited to share your special day
with you.
A wife like you makes the dark days a
little sunnier, and makes the husband's
sunny days even more cheerful! On your
birthday and each day of this year, may
you know how special you are to me!
In this life, there are too many
adventures and so little time to enjoy all
of them. Not for you. You have always
jumped in; head first, with so much fire
and grit. Life’s an endless adventure with
you beside me. Happy Birthday to a lady
of Essence.
May you find true bliss as you face your
next milestones. Happy birthday with
love!
MAMA MIA!
Grand old! I have been warning you
about this day and now it has arrived,
and I thank God for this moment as
many people do not even get to see
such a day. You are still looking like you
have just crossed 25 although now I
can no longer deny that I don’t see grey
hairs.
But the grey hairs are a symbol of the
times you have lived through,
experienced and of accomplishments
achieved. You have taught us the many
great tricks of life as a Christian and as
a Nigerian growing in Europe to ensure
that we do not trip and fall on this
journey of life and there are still many
more lessons for you to teach me and I
am grateful and excited for the many
more years I still have to spend with
you.
You inspire, motivate, advice, support,
"A wife like you makes the
dark days a little sunnier, and
makes the husband's sunny
days even more cheerful!"
teach, pray and bless me everyday
and for this I often do not say thank
you enough, But I want you to know
how blessed and privileged I am to
have you as a mother and a best
friend. I Thank you for the work and
especially the behind the scenes
work you do to improve me and my
life.
Many people often ask how do I
survive when my mother is roaming
the house with a slipper ready to
unleash at any moment notice and
often my answer would be to wear
multiple trousers, but as I have
grown older I see those lessons
learnt have been for the betterment
of myself as a person and for that I
blessed you. I hope as you turn
golden you will start to take things a
bit more easier as you are more
fragile now, I know you are denying
such as you read this,
Richard
but all in all I want to say thank you
and happy birthday. I love you and
wish you many more years in Jesus
name. Amen.
