My Dearest Mother,
Today, as the world marks the day you came into it, my heart trembles with gratitude and awe for the priceless gift of you.
You are not just my mother — you are the very heartbeat of our family, the pillar of righteousness, and the living proof that a life anchored on the fear of God will always shine as a beacon of light. You raised me and my siblings not just to live, but to live with purpose, with integrity, and with a reverence for the Lord that has become the compass of our lives.
From you, I learned that true greatness is not measured by wealth or titles, but by how deeply we love, how generously we give, and how faithfully we serve. Your selflessness has no limits — you pour out kindness as naturally as breathing, and in your giving, you’ve taught me the sacred beauty of compassion.
You showed me that to care for others is not an obligation, but a privilege; that real love is not just spoken, but proven in action, day after day.
Your sharp wisdom in business, your unmatched discipline, and your fearless approach to life have been my training ground. You’ve given me more than advice — you’ve given me the armour to face challenges and the wings to rise above them. Your belief in diligence, consistency, and excellence has carved these values into my soul.
But, Mother, what overwhelms me most is your humility and your unshakable faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. You’ve taught me that humility is not weakness, but power under control; that faith is not a mere belief, but an unyielding trust in God’s promises, even in the darkest hours. Watching you walk hand in hand with God has shown me the kind of strength that shakes the heavens.
Every word you’ve spoken, every lesson you’ve lived before my eyes, every prayer you’ve whispered over me — they have shaped my character and etched my destiny.
Today, I don’t just celebrate your birth; I celebrate your legacy — a legacy of faith, love, wisdom, and grace that will ripple through generations.
Happy Birthday, Mom. May God pour into your life blessings so abundant they overflow into eternity, just as your love has overflowed into all of us.
With all my love, and with a heart forever grateful!
Hon. Aro Moshood Abiodun,
Member, Lagos State House of Assembly.
