Grandma, you are very kind, and personality-wise, you are both kind and funny. You always say to me, I love you. What makes you happy is seeing your family together, and what makes you laugh are funny stories. Some of my most cherished childhood memories with you are fromwhen I visited you with Sean and Amanda. I ammost proud of you because you’re still very strong, and what inspires me the most about you is that you keep pushing through hard times. Some of the exciting and unforgettable things that have happened to you are our visits, and the people who have the most influence over you are your family and loved ones. Happy 80th Birthday, Grandma! Lily Asante Happy 80th Birthday, Grandma! I am proud to be named after you – Yaa Frimpomaa. What I love most about you is your constant joyfulness and selflessness. You are an inspiration to all. The way you care for your community and family reflects the generous heart God blessed you with. You never stray from living life to the fullest! Since I was young, I’ve always remembered your words: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Those words continue to guide me. You taught me the importance of our actions and of treating everyone with kindness. I am forever grateful for the plethora of wisdom you’ve shared with me through the years. Some of my favourite memories are the times spent with you and my cousins in Kumasi — from our walks around your area to visiting other family members. Every visit to see you in Kumasi has been filled with love and laughter. Grandma, you are our greatest teacher and the heart of our family. Today, we celebrate not just your 80 years of life, but the love and faith you have shared with all of us. May God continue to bless you with good health and many more joyful years ahead. I love you always. Nana Yaa Asante Grandma, I love that you are always kind to everyone youmeet and treat everyone like family. Some of my most cherished childhood memories with you are the times we spent together, especially when you guided and nurtured me with love and care. I still remember you saying, “Maya, your jeans have holes in them, why? You have to be a lady” — and I don’t wear jeans with holes now, Grandma! Seeing your children and grandchildren accomplish everything they set out to achieve makes you very happy. Personality-wise, you are very at peace with life, calm but stern when you need to be, very thoughtful, and a philanthropist. What inspires me most about you is your ability to impart knowledge to everyone youmeet. You always take the time to learn people’s life stories and give advice that is appreciated. I ammost proud of you because of your wisdom, your patience, and the way you touch lives so profoundly. Some of the exciting and unforgettable things that have happened are the times we visited you. I feel like your children have the most influence over you because you love them very, very much. Out of the siblings, I knowAuntie Akua has the most influence because she is the last baby.
