I first met you at a funeral in Prampramwhere KP introduced me as his friend, and from that day, you’ve been nothing but kind and welcoming. I fondly call you Yaa Yaa — a name that feels as warm as your personality. You’ve always inspired me with your positive attitude towards life and your willingness to help others, no matter their age. You’re someone who offers advice with love and sincerity, and that’s something I truly admire. One of my favourite memories of you is seeing you early in the morning with your cup of tea, your Bible, and your prayer book — such a beautiful routine of faith and peace. I also remember when you came to Accra for a short visit, and I happened to fall ill. You offered to stay and help with the kids and ended up staying for an entire month. That gesture of kindness really touched my heart, and I remain deeply grateful. You always make me laugh when you get so engrossed in your UTV telenovelas. You’ll start to tell me just a short part of the story but somehow end up narrating the whole thing — and it’s always so funny and sweet. If I could thank you for one thing, it would be for always being there for my family. You’ve shown so much love and care, and I truly appreciate you. Happy, happy birthday, Ma! May God bless you abundantly with long life, good health, and all your heart’s desires. I love and appreciate you very much. Adraina Happy birthday,Monica.
