”Happy posthumous Birthday mom ,
You would have been 60 today ,
But you left us as early as 46,
Yes Guys cancers sucks ,
But you gotto be a strong
You achieved so much in the little time on earth ,
Never still seen An industrious woman like you ,
You didn’t let being From A wealthy Home stop you from pursuing your dreams ,
You taught me so much in little time and I can never forget how you built me strong ,
Sent me to various countries just to learn and perfect all my skills , you said a master that can’t do their craft by themselves is not a leader
Which is why I can handle anything that comes my way like a piece of cake , I literally do all my creative process myself ,
Wish you were here to see how far I have gone in all my various businesses,
Wish people knew you & how many businesses you ran like it was nothing , they will know the 33 businesses is small ,
I literally shadowed you from Age 9 &I’m reaping the fruits today ,
Your shoes are too big to fill but I know you will be extremely proud of me ,seeing all the hard work I have done and how have Grown into the Business mogul you aspired
One thing I sure took from you is your no nonsense attitude, selflessness and how you have the eyes to See stars even when they haven’t actualized yet ,
Sleep on mom love you always

Shey you people think I’m fine and I have confidence abi, wish you met my mom
