Iyanuoluwani, I'm proud of the woman you're becoming. Spiritually, physically, financially, intellectually, dreams’ically , emotionally, psychologically, career’cally , relationships’cally … I'm oh so proud. I'm also glad you can proudly say "I'm the girl who God has helped". I do realise we don't speak to each other a lot in writing, so this is a bit awkward and so, I’ll just drive straight to the point: I often forget how pretty awesome I am.

Nah! However, I am going to pray for them. I am going to shout to heavens to please grant me wisdom and understanding of the times in order to bring them up right in the fear of God and morally upright.  Happy Children’s Day to the ones who gave me the title “Mother”. May your days be long and happy, seasoned with sweetness and garnished with joy. May God grant me the grace to bring you up right in His knowledge and faith. And happy children’s day to me too as I send a loving shout out to my parents.
