To My Stepmother – Mrs Eileen Cecilia Adigbo Mummy, thank you for playing such a significant role in my educational journey. Because of you, I had the opportunity to attend Accra Girls’ Secondary School and Swedru Secondary School. Thank you for planting in me the values of focus, discipline, and determination. May God bless and keep you always. To My Guardian Uncles – UncoGa & Uncovi Thank you for nurturing me, guiding me, and supporting me during my formative years. You were firm, loving, and present. God bless you both for the foundation you helped build in my life. I declare Numbers 6:24–26 upon you and your household: “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” God bless you both. To My Ever-Present Uncle – Dr Agbemaple Uncle Thom, your path will continue to shine brighter, just as Proverbs 4:18 declares: “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” You have been my angel on earth from childhood—always showing up, always standing in. Your kind is rare, and I continue to pray that I meet you halfway in giving back a fraction of what you’ve poured into my life. God bless you deeply. To My Uncle – Mr Victor Adigbo Uncle Victor, thank you for stepping in as a father on my wedding day. Your presence meant everything. You didn’t just stand in—you stood tall, with grace and love. Alongside Aunty Doris (of blessed memory), your counsel to my husband and me shaped our early years of marriage in ways we still carry. You’ve remained a steady support throughout my adult life, always showing up with wisdom and kindness. God bless you deeply for being such a strong anchor in my journey. To My Siblings – Bro Johnny, Richard, Sena, Kafui, Abena Gogo, Junior, Nana Akua & Louisa Though we came from different mothers, our father gave us sharedmoments I’ll always cherish. Each of you added something unique to my life—through laughter, love, or simple presence. Whether near or far, you’ve been part of my foundation, the ones who remind me where I come from and who I am. Thank you for embracing me as your own and for the memories we built together. You remind me that family is not about perfection but about showing up. I’m grateful for you all. To Rozo, Aunti Didis, Aunti Mansa & Frankie You form part of the family that shaped the heart behind my smile. Thank you for the laughter, the memories, and the quiet ways you’ve always been there.

Your love, support, and prayers have been a quiet blessing through every season. I’m grateful for the memories we’ve built together. To Mr & Mrs Larry Auguste Your guidance and support have been wrapped in pure love from the very beginning Lawrence brought me to your home. You embraced me, covered me, and stood with me with grace and wisdom. God bless you both abundantly. Thank you for being more than in-laws—thank you for being family. To Sweetie Thank you for taking me in when the going got tough. You provided shelter not just in the physical sense, but emotionally too. May God bless you for your kindness and generosity. To My Tribe - Sis Eleanor, Sis Becky, Sis Wendy, Chatte, Akuba, Kwame, Ellen, and Junice Each of you has shown up in powerful ways; whether through prayer, presence, or practical support. Family isn’t always blood—it's who stands with you when the world goes silent. Thank you for walking with me, standing for me, and believing in me during each season our paths crossed. You made life’s load lighter and my heart fuller. 31 The Birthday Journal
