On this day of your birthday, I wanted to share what’s in my heart.
I was confused whether to write a blog on it and publish my thoughts or just keep it in my head. But the amazing thing about having a blog is the ability to reflect on a time of your life in the future.
Happy birthday to a mentor, a friend, a brother, a father, and a writer. Thank you for everything that I have learnt from you. Thank you because you are generous, amazing, amicable and resilient. Thank you for your effort in the writers’ industry, without people like you, there will no longer be good stuff for anyone to read.
Indeed, you’ve been a man whose words have been known to shine light on the soul, and bring merry into the lives of people around him and far away from him.
I pray for you that the grace and understanding of God that surpasses all understanding will be bestowed upon you.
You are filled with God’s wisdom and you are blessed beyond recognition. Continue in the grace and mercy that the Lord has and will put you in. Amen.
I pray that the skill you have cultivated will work well for you; you will eat in plenty and be satisfied. As it is your birthday today, you will never know lack, you will never be found wanting when it is time to write, and your ink of glory will never run dry.
Last but not the least, I would like to say that I appreciate all criticism, opinions, every time you share it with me through comments and personally. It is a great pleasure to have reached this number and the kind of relationship we have been maintaining with each other. I will always remember this love from your side.
I want it etched in my memory forever
