Dear Jem, One thing I truly admire about you is your unwavering warmth and kindness. During our days as course mates in that bustling psychology class, you had a way of making everyone feel valued and appreciated. Your empathy wasn’t just something you studied—you lived it. I still remember our time at the University of Ghana, Legon. Prof. Danquah’s Personality Psychology lectures were intense, especially with the large class size. Missing one due to my military duties was risky. But you always came through for me, sharing your detailed notes that helped me tremendously. Your kindness and support during our first degree have never been forgotten— though I seem to have disappeared since. At 50, I pray you continue to glow, touching lives and reminding us all of the quiet strength found in compassion. You are a beautiful soul whose presence continues to inspire. Thom A very big and happy birthday to you, Jemima, the Charming English Lady! Abundant blessings from God Almighty, who has brought you through all the challenges and phases of your life to this point. I believe – and will say confidently – that many more such birthdays will follow. For me, it’s a privilege to record this message wishing you a happy birthday. Your professionalism when we worked together was beyond question. Your depth of thinking and the outcomes of your work were things I was always very proud of. Your personality was always so warm, and I believe that’s why your team members worked so closely with you and were always willing to go the extra mile. I always told you that you would be successful in life, and I’m proud that at 50, you’ve clearly achieved a significant level of success. Continue in the woodworks, and I’m sure that at 60, I’ll be delighted to do yet another recording for you. Enjoy your special day! Samuel Leslie Adetola (Chief) Happy Birthday, Jemima! One thing I love about you is—It’s premium or nothing. You don’t settle for less. I miss the way we used to watch Nigerian movies and laugh about it after... My wish for you: Long life with good health. Emma Kafui Happy Birthday, Jemima! Amonor—as we affectionately call you—means people’s mother, and that’s exactly who you are. Everyone’s mother is Auntie Jem. You're caring, loving, and always there to help. You can cook—and not just food, but food with love! The list goes on and on. My chilling partner, I love you and you know that. The love is deep, and I thank God we are all alive to witness today. Love you, Agbekonor. Stiffus! Plenty memories o! Takoradi – Paragon Night Club, hehe... Berekum getaway BB, hehe... You remember the day we ran away to a nightclub and came back to find the door locked? We had to sleep outside and the mosquitoes did justice to us. Stiffus! Burma Camp days too… unforgettable. I pray for God’s continuous protection upon you and your family. Good health and long life I wish for you from our good Lord. And may your life be better than yesteryears. You have a good and pure heart. God protect us all and help us enjoy the fruit of our labours. Love you. Evelyn A.K.A. Auntie Mansah The Birthday Journal 51
