I still remember the very first time I saw you in 1983….
I have been reflecting a lot? about your life lately and if I could sum up your life in one word, it would be SINCERE.
Your extremely sincere heart.
Your proclivity to unpretentiousness towers above every inclination you possess.
Your heart shines through in everything you do, such that even when you are wrong, you are sincerely wrong; never calculatively.
I have weighed your imprint and significance upon my life and my conclusion under God is that I HAVE BECOME A BETTER PERSON IN YOUR COMPANY.
From day one with you, never once have I felt stifled by you.
Under your leadership, our relationship has been characterized by mutual respect, sharpening of each other and adding value to each other.
Yours is a heart that seeks the good of others.
There is no streak of greed or maliciousness in you.
Your heart of love for people, wanting everyone you know to become better and going out of your way to make life happen for them is legendary.
There is no selfish bone in your body!
Ever giving.
Ever selfless.
Always pushing yourself and never believing that something cannot be done.
Your drive.
Hardwork.
Creativity
Pursuit of vision
Quest for excellence.
These and more are all so inspiring.
The price you pay and the extent to which you go just to learn and improve! Unbelievable!
Your forthrightness is almost to a fault.
The paradox that characterizes your life never ceases to amaze me:
Fearlessly bold and yet very contemplative,
Outspoken and yet humble,
Loyal and yet very objective.
Your predictably consistent lifestyle has provided a safe haven for me and our children over the years.
You are one simple, ‘low maintenance,’ easygoing person.
Not a man given to much words ( except on the altar o), your depth of love for your family is deeper than your words can convey. It is evidently clear as day, in all of your interractions; putting us first all the time.
I have learnt focus from you. Laser focus.
Orderliness.
Commitment to purpose and duty.
Total dependence on God.
And what can I say about your heart of love for God?
Even in the toughest of circumstances, God remains the linchpin of your life.
Your willingness to put God first and to obey Him no matter how unreasonable, strikes a cord of reverence for you in my heart.
Though not faultless, your integrity and principle-driven lifestyle is top-notch.
Your sense of humour plus your boyish smile and laughter, all tug at my heart everytime.
Doing life with you has been a wòrthwhile adventure…
‘Ladele mi owon.
Ayinla, Eni Owo, Omo Oba!
My forever crush.
Husband of my life.
The quintessence of gallant proprietary!
My sizzling, crackling, red-hot beau!
So you’re 60??
Really?
How?
When did that happen? ??♀️Lol
Well, like I told you, you need to present to me your original birth certificate to convince me???
My only regret now is that I will have to endure being called a ‘small girl’ until I turn 60!??♀️
Happy, happy Diamond Jubilee my paddy for life!??????????
I testify that God has been gracious to you. His mercy and grace have been your greatest asset.
May His lovingkindness continue to be your lot.
May you walk with Him unto all pleasing from glory to greater glory.
May your impact never wane.
May you ever remain in the bull’s-eye of God’s will for your life.
Length to your days.
Health to your body and mind.
Strength to your ways.
My heart blesses you today.
And always.
I love you forever and a day!???????❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Isa. 46:4 GNT
I am your God and will take care of you until you are old and your hair is gray. I made you and will care for you; I will give you help and rescue you
