I’m incredibly proud of you, especially when I describe your life and job to friends. They’re often left in awe, especially the women. What inspires me the most is your commitment to doing what you believe is right, even when it’s not the popular choice. You’ve endured and overcome many challenges, coming from a less economically privileged background. Yet, you’ve worked tirelessly, even as your social and economic status improved, keeping you grounded. Your life’s an unending adventure, Mom. From globetrotting to hobnobbing with VIPs, you’re a living legend. Plus, those casual pics with the Samoan Prime Minister in our family WhatsApp group? Legendary! Your legacy? It’s us, your children. We’ll make sure not to disappoint. You’ve set the bar high, and we’re ready to live up to it. Steve Mom, you’re not just a mom; you’re the greatest provider - when the mood strikes! We’ve had some super great memories… Remember the time you picked me up from boarding school? It was like a hero’s entrance! “You’re too known,” you’d say when I got a bit cheeky, and then there were those times I tried to stay out of trouble (emphasis on tried). But hey, life’s about balance, right? You have this knack for telling your friends our most embarrassing stories for laughs, which, I must say, is a bit unfair, but it shows your fun-loving side! You’re like Uma Thurman, sassy and fiercely independent. You’ve conquered the UN by becoming a country representative, and that was a proud moment for me. Missing out on theWHO’s Director of Health role just made you even more professionally formidable. But what makes me most proud is watching you raise four talented kids and providing a path for us to chase our dreams. Your support means the world to us. Keep reaching for the stars, Mom! Kimberley Mommy, you’re not just an awesome mom; you’re a superhero and my confidant! Your superpower? Making me laugh, loving fiercely, and tackling everything with dedication. Our adventures together in different countries are like the coolest rollercoaster ride. You call me your “pension baby” or your “designer handbag,” and I couldn’t be more honoured! Your “focus” mantra keeps me on track, and seeing you light up when we’re around or dancing with friends is the best. It hurts when we don’t pick up the phone or pass on your invites. Your personality is a blend of hard work, loyalty, humour, and that fiery spirit that’s uniquely you. You’re already a superstar in my eyes. Every day, I’m proud of you, and what inspires me the most is your unstoppable confidence and work ethic. You’ve overcome some serious challenges, like moving countries for our education, and it’s made you even more legendary. Your legacy? It’s all about our education, and I’m on a mission to make you proud. I love you to the moon and back and can’t wait for the awesome times ahead. 45 The Birthday Journal
