Mama,
Mama, thanks for being my mum. Thank you for raising me and trying to make me the best person I can possible be. I thank you for the sacrifices you have made for Tunde, Yosola, Bidola and me. I thank you for the sacrifices you have made for us as a family. I thank you for the persistent phone calls and the voice mails when I did not pick up. I thank you for always knowing when to console, motivate or chastise. I thank you because you always believe in me, even when I do not believe in myself. I am thankful for putting me on the right track. Mama, I thank you.
I thank you for being an example of how to strive to be a better person every day. I thank you for being an example about how to help others. I thank you for being an example of how life is about always rising up after failure. I thank you because I have watched you in action in all areas, and I want you to know that you are my inspiration.
Mama, I most thankful for the conversations I had with you about your plans and dreams for your future, the future of your family; and for your country. Well mum, I have heard your dreams.
• I may not have your leadership skills: But I would try and learn to lead
• I may not have your eloquence or speaking ability: But I am currently working on it
• I may not have your self-confidence: But I promise you I would get better day by day
• I may not have your ability rise up to any occasion: But I pray to God to reach your level
I thank you because I see your hand in the way I think, the way I talk and the way I act. I thank you because you have had a hand in shaping the way I see the world. I am really thankful because I have inherited your dreams.
I don’t like making promises; but I promise you that I would really try to cut my hair at least once every month. However, if forget to cut it, I would at least line it up.
Thanks for teaching me about everything.
