Her Words…
“Friend turned sister, sister turned blood… and over time, family in the truest sense of it all
Ufuoma, some people come into your life and quietly become part of your heart, and that is exactly who you are to me. Through seasons, laughter, conversations, moments of strength, and even unspoken understanding, you have remained one of the most genuine souls I know.
You are kind in a rare, intentional way, resourceful in ways that inspire, and effortlessly bring light and laughter wherever you go. Your humour carries warmth, your heart carries depth, and your presence has a way of making people feel safe, seen, and valued.
Today, I celebrate not just your birthday, but the gift that you are, the blessing your life continues to be, and the grace that rests upon you.
My prayer is that the good Lord will honour your heart, increase you beyond your expectations, bless the work of your hands, preserve all that concerns you, surround your family with peace, and open doors that only His mercy can open. May your joy be full, may your strength never fail, and may heaven continually smile on you.
Thank you for being you, for being real, for being solid, and for being family.
Happy birthday, my sister, my blood, my Lafomsky
I LOVE YOU @ufuomamcdermott”.
