When she found out I had sickle cell, she didn’t leave… She stayed, loved me in my worst, and helped me build this life from nothing.” — Adekunle

When I met Simi 12 years ago, I was a young man with a big heart but empty pockets. I lived in one tiny room with no bed frame, no future plans, and just 20,000 naira to my name as an NYSC corps member.

When she found out I had sickle cell, she didn’t walk away like the others. She stayed. She visited me in that small room with joy in her eyes. We laughed, played, and held each other through the hard times. Today, we have everything we once only prayed for. And now, all I want is to spend my life making her the happiest woman alive.

Thank you, my sweet Simi, for choosing me. For seeing my heart. For believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Happy 37th birthday, my love.

— Adekunle ❤️
