HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GODFATHER
Dear Gabby Otchere Darko( G.O.D).esq
Today marks a greatly anticipated day on the calendar and I, Farouk Aliu Mahama, your godson, celebrate this auspicious day of your birthdate and there is no better date to express my admiration and appreciation for you.
I have been proud to be under your strong and valuable mentorship, encouragement, guidance and support throughout the period I have known you, and this is the best day to acknowledge that your perseverance in seeing my transformation has made you a LEGEND to me. I want to pay you this glowing tribute while you are alive and kicking.
There have been many situations, some harder than others but an admirable thing about your character is that, problems do not affect your strength and you have an optimistic attitude. You are a generous boss, friend, leader and even more than a brother.
Your birthday is the ideal day to share the joy, remember and laugh for the nice times you had and for the gift of another year with good health, with all your love ones. A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY sir. May this be a very nice day for you and many more birthdays, full with love and health.
For me, your birthday is not the only time to celebrate you. If I had my way, everyday would be a celebration in your honour. Best regards.
Your Godson,
Farouk Aliu Mahama
