As I sit on my musallah, my burka soaked in tears, nothing leaves my lips except Alhamdulillah. All thanks and praise to my Creator for blessing me with one more year of life. For walking with me through every storm. For shielding me from those who wished me harm. Yes, I lost — I lost a lot. Was it stupidity? I think not. It was Allah testing me through my health, my wealth, and my faith. And did I gain?Oh yes — in ways unimaginable. I became stronger despite physical and emotional pain. Softer in heart, more forgiving but now with boundaries. Every test humbled me, reshaped me, and redirected me. What more could I ask for, except to keep thanking my Lord for granting me another chance to do things His way. I lost when I did things my way. I am no longer the woman who pours into leaking cups, who falls for fake smiles or emotional manipulation. Every weapon that could have been formed was formed. The devil almost had his way but he forgot one thing. Allah is my Defender, and He is his Lord too. He failed. Every battle I lost strengthened my faith to win the war. A very happy birthday to me, and to all who celebrate today. Here’s to growth, gratitude, and choosing Allah — always. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Abongwe Blessing
Today, we celebrate not just another year of your life, but the incredible young man you are becoming. Abongwe, you walked into my life not as my own son by birth, but as a son by love and from that moment, you have never allowed me to miss the feeling of being a mom. You filled a space I did not even realize was waiting for you, and for that, I will forever be grateful.
You are the kind of soul that shines quietly but powerfully, the smartest, kindest, and most gentle heart anyone could hope to meet. You care deeply, you love openly, and even in your moments of worry, you remind us all just how much compassion lives inside you. That, Abongwe, is your gift to the world, the ability to love and care beyond yourself.
I am so proud to call myself your second mom. Proud of the way you carry yourself with respect and humility. Proud of the way you dream with courage and kindness. And proud to witness the man you are steadily becoming. You are not just your mother’s son, you are a blessing to all who know you, a young man destined for greatness, because your heart leads the way.
So on this special day, I pray joy surrounds you, love carries you, and every dream in your heart finds its way to you. May you always walk with confidence, with peace, and with the knowledge that you are so deeply loved.
Happy birthday, my boy. Love you always.
