Just so you know, I'm feeling as if today is my birthday. Funny enough, I don't remember being this happy on any of my birthdays. Lol.
Happy Birthday To You, my Super Duper Mummy
Okay, don't rush! Let's take it one step at a time!
Today is a good day. It's Mum's birthday and I'm so so so excited to be around on this special occasion. The last time I was at home to witness this was in 2007. Now, I'm here and I'm already giving her a different taste of her special day - Starting with a birthday song. That was from midnight.
I really wish that we have a full house at the moment, but it's not possible. I have 5 siblings, but only me and the 4th child of the family is available for this occasion. Regardless of that, she got a lot of buzzes and calls from every one of us. I can feel her heightened emotions even as I'm writing this post.
By daybreak, we all prayed together. Me, Mumcy and my little Sis before everyone stepped out for their daily activity. That's it. A super-duper birthday is already done.
And dusted?
Noooooo wayyyyyyy!
Something bigger is on the way!
Here is a fun fact;
My Mum has never used a cake for her birthday. Never! But I'm here to rewrite that history!
By 4 p.m on the dot, I went to SHOPRITE to get some birthday stuff for Mumcy.
On arrival
I started my shopping immediately.
Oh, that's not me. Just somebody.
That's where I bought some beverages for Mum. Not just for today. Enough to last a whole month.
In this segment of the mall, I got to select a very nice perfume for Mumcy. Oh boy! The perfume smells nice.
And this? Ahhhh... That's Mum's favourite. I can't go anywhere without coming back with HOT bread. You know, the type that just escaped from an Oven. Haha. Very HOT!
What about the cake? Eh?
That's EVERYTHING, including the cake.
Oh, Dear! You need to see Mum's reaction. It's second to none. I'm excited and glad that I can do this much to heighten her happiness on a day like this.
Happy Birthday To You, D Fashion Madam!
Thanks Everyone For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma

Happy birthday to your mum. You definitely made her happy on her special day.
Just the little I can do and I'm glad that she enjoyed it.
Thanks for the wishes
Aww! 😍 It's the joy and blessing of every parent to see their children celebrate them and I am proud of you for doing this for your mom!
Tell her HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me!
I hope she had a wonderful, relaxing day! Um, still expecting my piece of the cake shaaa. I wouldn't mind a cup of coffee to go with it! 😄
Thanks Alot Dreeemy Kemmy.
She enjoyed the occasion and the excitement is still on till this moment.
I'm glad that I was able to add spice to her occasion.
Your HOT coffee is secure in my FREEZER 😂
😏😏😏
Thanks for joining me on this celebration. I appreciate it 🙏
You are most welcome
Happy birthday to your lovely mom. I am sure she had the best day ever having two of her kids back home with her😍 If that is her in the picture, she looks fabulous! She is lucky to have a caring child like you. I am curious what has kept you apart for so long on birthdays. Do you live far from each other then? I know after I emigrated to the UK from South Africa, I sadly got to spend very few birthdays with my parents and not having them close by, broke my heart at times.
She really had the best day ever and the fun is still visible in at the moment.
I was missing all her other birthdays because of Academics. I started from my secondary school to live in boarding schools so, I was never at home whenever she is doing birthday
I'm glad to be here now although I plan to relocate soon.
Hope you are enjoying your stay in UK
That's awesome Kene 😊 I love it when the birthday feeling lingers. That's tough on the boarding school side of things. Family separation is hard but at least you could celebrate with her this year. I hope that wherever you find yourself in life that you will always find time and space to return home to spend time with your mama. I am sure she misses you immensely when you are away. as a mom myself, I dread the day when my boys are grown up enough to be leaving home and can only hope that our relationships are strong and close enough that despite the busyness of life, that they will find time for that call, that text and regularly circle back home for a hug.
The busyness of like can come in full force. All we can do is to always remember who we are and where we came from.
I often hear stories of people that have already forgotten their parents because of how busy life can be. It sounds awkward and eerie, but that's quite understandable especially when you choose to open your mind to the type of struggle people pass through in order to put food on their table. Some people work round the clock only to earn peanuts in return.
I see them doing their thingy and that is why I'm serious or at least, trying to be serious in what we have going on virtually.
The thing about me is that I like my freedom and I would like to travel round the world. I also like to live on my terms but none of this would be possible if I work traditionally in the way it was known to be done years ago.
I just wish that everything I'm doing now will help to give me the time to live more freely and abundantly.
Wooow. I could sense the joy in you as you write this post. Am glad you could mAke her happy. m sure she prayed for you even if she didn't say it out. The joy in her seeing the love you showed will definitely bring blessings on you. Nice one bro
