The kids bulldozed into the room at exactly 12 midnight today, April 21st, with the birthday song dancing and thanking God for the gift of another year for the Mummy General of the House. A woman who holds my breadth and who has changed my life for good. She is organised, creative and a manager of repute. She has kept the House on course throughout this last 25 years of our union and seven years after my mum decided to travel. I respect her intelligence and commitment to the growth of the union. I can't thank God enough for the privilege to have her as my soul mate. In my several times of crisis of direction and choice, she has come handy with rich counsel and worthy advice. Not once, not twice, has she saved the House from disgrace and ridicule. I salute her commitment to a flourishing marital life, her love for my children and relations, and her leadership qualities. A viteous woman, prayer warrior, and counsellor. On behalf of the House of Louis of Umuozoke, Umufele, Ibute Amaeke Ngwo of Enugu State which I presently head, I pray that God will continue to bless and honour this woman of inestimable value, the support base and motivating spirit behind our success story. Ebuka, Dera, Chigo, Chinwe, Ebube and I celebrate and honour you today and always. Rise and shine for your God is alive and will continue to be there for you. Pls spare a prayer for her and thank God for her life.
