I always look forward to your beautiful smile, your warmth, and your presence after church, and the touching way you ask about my family’s wellbeing. We love you dearly, AuntieMonica! We joyfully celebrate this milestone — your 80th birthday —with you. Our prayer for you is abundant blessings, vibrant health, overflowing love, and lasting happiness. Akosua Hemeng Dear AuntieMonica, I am truly blessed to have been part of the journey of creating your birthday journal. Reading through the messages has taught me so much about your generosity, your deep love for others, and your remarkable cando spirit. One lesson that has especially stayed with me — and one I am determined to practise immediately — is this: if something needs to be done, do it at once. Don’t wait. Just do it. This principle has already begun to challenge and inspire me. My prayer is that this journal will be a blessing to many, just as it has been to me, and that others will also discover precious nuggets of wisdom through your life and example. I am grateful for the opportunity to have introduced my mother, Mama Monica, to you, whose birthday on December 20th is a day before yours. May Saint Monica continue to intercede for both of you and for all your children. Happy 80th Birthday, Auntie Monica. May God bless you, keep you, and make His face shine upon you. Amen Mansa Agyare 114 The Birthday Journal
