Ntowaa, The woman who carried me for nine months and never fails to remind me, especially when she catches me doing something and I try to deny it. The woman who taught me how to do everything I know now, the good stuff of course. I know every child has their own superhero mum, but I truly believe mine is out of this world. My mom has a certain aura that when she walks into a place, the joy that suddenly fills up the room is immeasurable. My mom has a certain sense of humor that is even able to make the dullest person crack a smile. My mom has a certain “vibe” she brings that even the moodiest of them all will see that they can’t remain the same after she enters the atmosphere. My mom is a woman who loves her wine. Lol. I know this because, I mean, who doesn’t? My mom’s favorite place is Olive Gardens. My mom loves plants. Like, she absolutely loves them, and my siblings can testify to this fact. If you know the amount of plants we have had to water in the house, especially my brother, you’d die; let’s go on. I think she got that from her mom. Although I didn’t get to meet her, all I can say is she birthed a woman of substance and integrity. My mom is a family person; like, she’s really big on family. She tries everything to bring my siblings back home even though they’re in uni. I mean, come on. My mom is the type of person who lets me know that they are always there for me no matter what and know that no matter what I’m going through, they’ve got my back. She makes me know that I’m loved, needed, and cared for. She really disciplines me when I go wayward to just let me know the difference between right and wrong. She teaches me how to have a solid foundation. She teaches me how to be a proper woman of God. Mymom is standard, guys, and today, mommy, I just want to say happy birthdayyyyyyyyyyy. I love you so so so so so so much, and I pray that God will continue to protect you and give you your heart’s desires. Enjoy your day, my love. From Kaakyire The Birthday Journal 37
