Happy 90th Daddy! I’ve been reflecting on the incredible 90 years you’ve had, and it’s like revisiting a beautiful family album. You and Mom – a perfect duo. Mom, the strong enforcer, and you, the laid-back, chill one. Our home was always a haven of peace, and I’m thankful that, at least in front of us kids, there was never any sign of you two fighting. Your words, Daddy, have been a guiding force in my life. “Whatever you do, make sure you don’t bring shame to the family,” you once advised, and those words have remained my moral compass, shaping my decisions and actions. I remember the sheer joy of good grades and winning awards. It wasn’t just our individual achievements; it felt like victories for the whole family. Daddy, your generosity and support have not only touched our family but rippled out to others. It fills me with pride when I hear uncles and others talk about the days when you helped them with education or jobs. Your kindness has left a legacy of positivity. Mom, your hustle spirit has been my constant inspiration. Combined with Daddy’s patience and positive outlook, you both created a powerful team that shaped our family’s resilience. The move from Takoradi to Tema and starting anew was tough. Yet, through your patience, togetherness, and hard work, you overcame every obstacle. It’s a testament to your commitment to each other and the family. As we celebrate your 90th, Daddy, I want you to know how profoundly grateful I am for the love, wisdom, and unity you’ve brought into our lives. Here’s to the man who, alongside Mom, has created a family filled with patience, love, and enduring strength. With heartfelt admiration, Etse 23 The Birthday Journal
