MY LITTLE LOVE LETTER TO MY JEWEL OF INESTIMABLE VALUE ON HER SPECIAL DAY
I
can remember vividly the first time I set my eyes on her. I was 22 and
she was 20. It was not difficult to see her invaluable worth. Within a
short space of time and with much excitement, I had concluded she was
going to be my wife. At the age of 22, she became my wife after paying
her bride price. The blessings she brought into my life started to
manifest in no time as I moved into a 2-storey building I built under
2months and 3weeks at the age of 22. To the glory of God, we eventually
wedded in 1997 at Muson centre, Lagos. I was 26 years at the time and
she was 24 years. All these were rare feats!
From then onwards,
the good tidings of love has been evident in our lives. She has been a
rock, my solid rock. Her entrance into my life opened doors, shattered
barriers, leveled mountains and made me soar. This treasure stood by me
through thick and thin, even at my lowest ebb. You see, the bible never
lies. As the word of the Lord says "he who finds a wife, findeth a good
thing"...In my case, I FOUND THE BEST THING! I will and could never ask
God for more. Taking a stroll down memory lane and life as we started
it, the struggles, the bliss, the highs and the lows, all the beautiful
moments we have shared, there is no doubt that you have been an immense
blessing to me.
Obim, I honor you on this special day, for being a
solid pillar of strength and support all through the years. Since we
started this journey over 20 years ago, your belief and confidence in me
has been resolute, giving me a steady platform to build on. Through the
good times and bad, you stood firmly behind me, helping me withstand
the true test of time, growing with you, by you and growing closer each
passing year. My strength lies in you, Uche. My renewed strength comes
from the assurance of your ability and capacity to take charge of the
home front while I do battle on the field. You see...you are the best
partner I could ever dream of. We are the best team! Even while I am on
the battlefield daily, with all the hostilities and struggles, you are
always behind me and knowing that I have a woman who has got my back,
even when it's against the wall fills me with so much confidence.
At
this juncture, I wish to thank for everything, absolutely everything
you represent and have done for me. Words can never be enough to
exhaustively explain what you mean to me. You have blessed me in
countless ways, of which being the caring and resourceful mother of our 5
beautiful children is the zenith.
Despite being highly misunderstood
and sometimes controversial, you have always been that one person who
understood me totally, seeing beyond everyone else, seeing beyond the
veil. I want to thank you for tolerating me and all my controversies.
Over the years, the countless advice and counsel gotten from your well
of wisdom has keep my foot on the ground. Today, I am afloat because of
you.
Inasmuch as I recognize the fact that words are inadequate
to gush about my thoughts and feelings for you, I intend to use our book
which would be published soon to illustrate exhaustively what you mean
to me, even though that might just scratch the surface.
My love, as
you reach another milestone today, my earnest prayer is that God grants
us the grace to understand and love each other more and more with each
passing day. You have been a virtuous wife, an extraordinary friend, a
wonderful mother, a reliable confidant and a precious vessel which God
has used to bless me immensely.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY ANGEL.
