Gratitude Wall “When we express gratitude, we open the door for grace to abound.” To My Husband – My Hon Thank you for the experiences, the lessons, and the journey we’ve shared through marriage. The highs and lows have helped shape me into the woman I am today. Continue to lead, and I will follow. God bless you, Hon, for all the ways you’ve contributed to my growth and resilience. Your support in parenting our children has been invaluable—whether through presence, guidance, or silent sacrifice. Together, we’ve planted seeds of love, faith, and legacy in our children, and I’m grateful to have done that with you. As we look to the future, may our union be continually refined by God’s grace. May we dream new dreams, build new memories, and remain each other’s safe place as we grow old together. To more shared laughter, fulfilled promises, and purposeful years ahead by God’s grace. To My Brother – Charles Nutsu, the Lord will continue to be your anchor. You’ve been my defender, my cheerleader, and my safe place. You gave me the gift of playing the role of a big sister, one I embraced with joy and gratitude. Thank you for always showing maturity in our discussions, especially when it came to the weighty, topical issues of life. Your confidence in me has been humbling, and I do not take it for granted. I couldn’t have asked for a better brother. Your quiet strength has carried me in more ways than you know. I declare Psalm 32:7 over you – may my God continue to be your hiding place, preserve you from trouble, and always surround you with shouts of deliverance. God bless you richly, my dearest brother. To My Children Thank you for allowing me to grow into motherhood over the years. You didn’t come with manuals, but you taught me how to love unconditionally, to sacrifice silently, and to rejoice deeply. The Bible says in Psalm 127:3: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” When I first became a mother, I didn’t know how I would nurture and support God’s vessels entrusted to me. But you gave me grace. You gave me purpose. You gave me the gift of doing life together for the past 21 years. God bless each of you. You are my legacy. To My Father – Lt. Col. (Rtd.) C.J. Adigbo Daddy, thank you for giving me the chance to come into this world. I pray I get to honour you in accordance with God’s Word in Ephesians 6:2–3: “Honour your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” God bless you, Daddy. To My Mother – Cecilia Nyakpor Sister, you have been my rock—steady, strong, and sacrificial. There were moments when you stretched far beyond your boundaries just to make sure I was okay. Your daily check-ins, quiet intercessions, and unwavering support cannot be repaid. There’s no greater gift than a mother’s love, and I thank God every day for the gift of you. I honestly don’t know how you do it—but you’ve been super awesome throughout my journey. Thank you, Sister, for instilling in me the virtues of womanhood—patience, kindness, hard work, and love. I’ve come this far because I stood on your shoulders, just as Sir Isaac Newton once said: “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” You are that giant.
