“Happy Birthday to you, IYA mi, Wura mi, My QUEEN
Iya Aladura mi and my greatest blessing ❤️
There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for the gift of having you as my mother. You didn’t just give birth to me; you gave me life in every sense of the word. You nurtured me with love, corrected me with wisdom, sacrificed your comfort for my future, and shaped me into the woman I am today.
Every achievement I celebrate, every strength I possess and every blessing I enjoy is a reflection of the values, prayers, and unconditional love you poured into me. I owe it all first to God and then to you, Mummy mi.
Thank you for being my first teacher, my greatest cheerleader, my safe place and my constant source of strength. Thank you for believing in me even when I doubted myself, for standing by me through every season and for loving me without conditions.
On your special day, my prayer is that God rewards every sacrifice you’ve made and every prayer you’ve whispered on my behalf. May He bless you with long life, divine health, overflowing peace, unending joy and countless reasons to smile. May your latter years be more glorious than your former, and may you live to reap the fruits of all your labour.
I celebrate you today and always, IYA mi, Wura mi.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH”.
