“I honestly don’t know where the years went. It feels like just yesterday I held you in my arms as my baby, and today, Similoluwa Chelsea Aliya OK is 18!
My baby girl has officially stepped into adulthood, and my heart is filled with so many emotions.
I’m sorry that your birthday shoot was done in such a rush because of my very tight schedule. I wish I had more time to make everything as perfect and beautiful as you deserve. But I hope you know that even when life gets busy, my love for you never gets busy, never gets tired, and never gets smaller.
Thank you, Similoluwa, for loving me exactly as I am. Thank you for accepting me, understanding me, and loving your mummy with such a beautiful heart.
You have no idea how much that means to me. You are one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me, and I will forever be grateful that He chose me to be your mother.
And honestly, Chelsea, look at you!
You replicated my entire beautiful look! Seeing my beauty reflected in you makes my whole world light up. You are my beautiful reflection, my mini-me, my answered prayer, and one of the biggest reasons my heart smiles.
As you step into this beautiful new chapter of adulthood, my prayer is that God will order your steps, protect you from every evil, bless you beyond your expectations, and surround you with genuine love, favour, wisdom, and beautiful opportunities. @simlineboss Photoshoot @kennylekky_views”.
