Sir Mr. Abideen Shittu
You are everything a person could ask for as a father. The person I am today is because of the unconditional and tender love you have shown me every day of my life. I became strong and confident in who I was and what I could do with my talents, my opportunities and my dreams just because of your love.
You have shown me through your own actions how to be strong and resilient, but have the tenderness of heart to be kind, humble and resourceful. For this I am so thankful and forever grateful, as it has me given me the standards to build on.
You are not just an ordinary father but a very responsible roundabout one. You are so irreplaceable in my heart that no matter how old I am, I will always love you.
Daddy, you are an embodiment of unconditional love. You have shown me the best way to be. You have made me proud to be me. This I will cherish my whole life through. One that money cannot buy and time cannot erase.
I cannot thank you enough but to continue to celebrate you. Happy 90th birthday to my dearest Dad.
