Dear Daddy, Happy 90th birthday! What I love most about you is your kind heart. Your compassion and generosity have made a profound impact on my life. My most cherished childhood memories with you revolve around our spontaneous farm visits. Those moments of working together and connecting with nature are treasures I hold close to my heart. Your personality is best described as calm, humble, and hardworking—an embodiment of Captain American qualities that I deeply admire. The phrase “Opokuaa, everything will be alright” has been a constant source of comfort, reflecting your optimistic and supportive nature. I can’t forget the joy you find in the produce from my mini garden and the laughter that ensues when I mispronounce words, like ‘boxing’ as ‘bosking.’ Your ability to find joy in the simple things is truly inspiring. Walking me down the aisle is one of my fondest and proudest moments with you. Your presence and support on that special day meant the world to me. Your hard working spirit is a constant inspiration. Despite the challenges, such as losing the farm and relocating from Takoradi to Tema, you pulled through with resilience, continuing to work hard to provide for us . Even at 90, your desire to return to farming, citing that your “village people need you,” is both exciting and admirable. It reflects your passion and dedication to your roots. Daddy, on this significant milestone, I want to express my deepest love and gratitude. Thank you for being my source of inspiration, strength, and joy. May your 90th birthday be filled with immense joy, love, and the warmth you’ve always shared with us. With heartfelt wishes, Opokuaa 26 The Birthday Journal
