Dear Baby,

I love the fact there’s a public holiday before your birthday, so we always have an in-house pre-birthday celebration. I am proud to call you my husband, you are an incredible being and I am grateful that our paths crossed. You are God’s perfect gift to me and I will be forever grateful to HIM. You are the only man who knows how to make me smile at any time, you are everything I ever wanted in a hubby and so much more (If I no openly gush over you wetin I gain🤪).

I love the way you have answers for almost every statement any human can make(I dey codedly wish say I fit do am 😊). You have an amazing mind, you know something about every topic, I am so sure you would have won the 10 million naira prize on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" if you went on the show. You’re the smartest man I have ever met.

You are a great dad and our DD adores you, I love the way you relate with her, she is lucky to have you. I appreciate our friendship, indeed you are my true friend. You are amazing and I love the way you love me, my Don Corleone, my energizer, my confidant and adviser.

My hype man, if other men hype their wives the way you do, the world would be more peaceful. You believe in me even in times I don’t, you are a wonderful support system. You strive to make me better, your encouragements are immeasurable. My world is colourful because I have you in it, you are all the definitions of witty, which are all good for me.

You always come through for me. I’ll always be here for you, as you have for me, you have proven your love for me again and again. For all your thoughtfulness, your kindness, your patience, your endurance, love and care I say thank you. You mean the world to me and I love you with all my heart. Thank you for everything you do and will continue to do for our family, may God continue to bless and increase you in Jesus Mighty name. Amen!

The 2nd of October is a special day for me because I get to celebrate your birth, its also a reminder of the incredible things the Lord has done for us in the past year. I will forever be grateful for HIS love, mercies, protection and blessings.

As you celebrate today, may God surprise you with a wonderful birthday gift and grant the desires of your heart.

I pray you continue to grow from strength to strength, may all your dreams come true. May your tomorrow be brighter than today, may God add sweetness to every area of your life. May you smile and laugh every day in this new year and many to come in Jesus Mighty name Amen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY, I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY

Your beautiful wife

Henrietta
