Bempah Kufour, Kwame’s another brother, reflects on the profound influence Kwame has had on him: Dear Big Brother, As you celebrate your 90th birthday, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible influence you have had on my life. Your sense of purpose, kindness, and gentleness are just a few of the attributes I learned from you while growing up. As you celebrate this remarkable milestone, I want you to know that I’m honoured to be your brother. I’m so proud of the person you are and all that you have accomplished. Obiri Asamoah, a nephew, expresses gratitude for Papa’s influence on his life: Dear Uncle, We thank the Almighty God for your life and for adding another year to it. I want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for the role you played in my educational life. Helping me to get admission into Opoku Ware School (OWASS) has made all the difference in my life. It has indeed made me what I am today. I will forever be grateful. Happy 90th birthday, and may God continue to bless you. Amen! Nana Yaw sends his congratulatory message: Dear Cousin, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on reaching such a milestone of 90 years. I pray that the good Lord continues to bless you with love, peace, happiness, and many more healthy years to come. Have a wonderful birthday. Michael Mensah-Bonsu is thankful for the wisdom received: Dear Cousin, I’ve always valued the wisdom you shared: “Be responsible like your father and take good care of the family.” This advice has guided me throughout my life. I also remember the times you visited me at Achimota boarding school when my father was bedridden. Your visits and the pocket money you gave were much appreciated and have left lasting memories. On your special day, I wish you continued blessings from the Almighty. We all strive to be worthy of the values you’ve instilled in us. 24 The Birthday Journal
