THE COST OF LOVING YOU: A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO MY WIFE
THE COST OF LOVING YOU: A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO MY WIFE

“The earth has music for those who listen” Shakespeare.
” This loving loving no be chop and go” Tiwa Savage”
As you advance in age gracefully, “Things Have Not Fallen Apart” with our union but many things have changed. Many waters have passed under the bridge. All the sweet things I told you are not what we seem to be experiencing. Many food items have disappeared from my breakfast table. I don’t have so much money to spare anymore for our adventures because pampers and sundry expenses have carried them all away. But your beautiful heart has not diminished in any way. My dreams for our union have expanded and your knowledge has equally increased in tenfold. It is not an easy road when travelling to heaven as a Christian hymn goes.

I
have never done it this way before. I am far from home at the moment. I
need to make this critical short term move for our long-term gain. But
deep down in my heart, I can hear you chorusing a verse from Tiwa Savage
hit song “All over” that “i am your baby for life, that you want to
wake up by my side and we do crazy things together because it is me and
you for life”. I appreciate.
The
dreams of building a home of tolerance and acceptance, faith and
possibilities have become as clear as the days progresses into weeks and
weeks into months and months into years. On 3rd of
April 2013, I performed the traditional rights of marriage as required
by customs and norms of “Ndi Igbo” (the people of Igbo tribe in
Nigeria). It is already five years of our marriage; however, the journey
has not been easy. It has not been a smooth ride because sometimes I
was very broke financially but somehow we have managed to navigate the
contours of every hard moment from very supportive family members. I
appreciate them.
I
have selected 32 pictures taken randomly from my archive to show you
how we have metamorphosed, transformed and to promise you that the
journey with you has been worthwhile. I will still keep travelling down
the road with you so that, we both can keep answering the questions of
life that God has given us.
Who
is honoured? Asked a Rabbi. One who honours others is honoured. I use
this medium to honour you and celebrate you. You make so much sense.
Happy birthday, Chinazo!
