Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has written a touching note ahead of his triplets’ thanksgiving.
In a post on one of his social media pages, he shared photos of himself, his wife and their triplets, reflecting the mockery, lies, stigma, assumptions and tej things said behind their backs and faces.
He said there was a time the whispers were louder than their prayers, and moments when they could have fought back, but they chose silence because Allah was writing their story.
Lateef noted how what people used to mock, their Maker turned into testimony. He said what people spoke about in darkness, Allah brought into the light.
The actor, in a note to his wife, appreciated her for standing by his side. In another note to his triplets, he said one day, they would hear the story of what their parents went through before they arrived.
“THEY SPOKE. ALLAH ANSWERED.
The mockery.
The lies.
The stigma.
The assumptions.
The things said behind our backs and sometimes, right to our faces.
There was a time when the whispers were louder than our prayers.
There were moments we could have fought back. Moments we could have explained ourselves. Moments we could have tried to prove people wrong.
But we chose silence.
Because we knew something they didn’t…
Allah was writing our story.
And when Allah writes your story, you don’t need to fight every lie. You don’t need to answer every accusation. You don’t need to convince everyone.
Just wait for His timing.
Today, I stand beside my wife, looking at our three beautiful boys, and I can only say:
SUBHANALLAH.
Three boys.
Three blessings.
Three miracles.
Three answers to prayers only Allah knew about.
What people thought would break us, Allah used to build us.
What people used to mock, Allah turned into our testimony.
What people spoke about in darkness, Allah brought into the light.
They had their opinions.
Allah had His plan.
And His plan was greater.
To my wife @mo_bimpe ❤️
We have been through a journey that only we truly understand. Thank you for standing, even when standing wasn’t easy. Thank you for believing, even when the world gave us reasons to doubt.
And to my three sons @etawithlove
One day, you may hear the story of what your parents went through before you arrived. You may never fully understand the tears, the prayers, the waiting, and the battles.
But always remember this:
You were prayed for.
You were waited for.
You were fought for.
And Allah brought you to us in His most beautiful time.
So today, I don’t want revenge.
I don’t want explanations.
I don’t want to prove anything anymore.
I want to say ALHAMDULILLAH.
Because sometimes the best response to those who counted you out…
is to let them watch Allah count your blessings.
Alhamdulillah for my wife. Alhamdulillah for my three sons. Alhamdulillah for the journey. And Alhamdulillah for a God who never fails”.
