My first love. 💕
The first man who taught me what it meant to be loved.
The first man who showed me what love from a man should feel like.
My Daddy.

Today is your birthday.

Your second birthday without you here.

And Daddy, I still don’t know how I’m supposed to do this.

I miss you.

I miss you so much.

I miss knowing you’re at home. I miss being able to call you. I miss telling you the most random things. I miss hearing your voice. I miss having somewhere to run to and knowing that my Daddy is there.

So much has happened, Daddy.

I started a new job. I think you would be proud of me. Actually, I *know* you would be proud of me. There are so many things happening in my life that I instinctively want to tell you, and then I remember that I can’t call you.

Oh, and Daddy… I have plenty white hair now.
Like, plenty.
I know you would have had something to say about it. I wish you were here to see it.

There are so many updates I have for you. So many stories. So many things I have wanted to come home and tell you.

And I hate that I can't.

Daddy, I’m not okay.

I wish I could write something beautiful about how well I’m coping, how time has made things easier, or how I’ve learnt to live perfectly around this huge hole you left behind.

But I haven't.

I’m not coping.

I miss you.

Some days I can laugh, work, show up, talk to people and do everything I’m supposed to do. And then there are days when all of it feels so heavy because underneath everything, I still just want my Daddy.

And carrying your legacy is hard.

I want to make you proud. I want my life to be evidence that you were here, that you raised me, that you loved me well. But sometimes I don't want to carry anything. Sometimes I just want you here.

You know, Daddy, I’ve been thinking…

I’m not even sure I would choose you to be my Daddy again in my next world.

Unless God promises me you’ll stay longer.

Because that is my only complaint.

You ticked every other box.

You loved me.
You showed up.
You protected me.
You taught me.
You gave me a home.
You gave me a standard for love.

You were such a good Daddy.

You just didn’t stay long enough.

And I don't know if I can survive losing you twice by @houseoftomaniere

One Year Without You, Daddy

Today makes it exactly one year since I last saw your body physically and touched your head.
I still remember that moment so vividly. Your head felt sandy, and for the first time, I truly understood the words: "From dust you came, and to dust you shall return."

Then the priest said something that changed everything for me. He said, "Take one last look at the body."
The body.
Not Daddy.
That was the moment it hit me. They closed the casket, and I remember thinking, This is it. This is final.
Not final because I would stop loving you, but final because I would never see you again. Never hug you again. Never hold your hand again. Even when I saw your body in silence, there was a peace that came from simply knowing your body was still here.

From that moment on, all I would have were memories.

Thank you, Daddy, for loving pictures. Thank you for every photograph and every video. Thank you for leaving behind your smile, your laughter, your voice, and little pieces of yourself that I can still return to whenever I miss you.

I remember the man who brought his girls Valentine's gifts, who always joked that no man could do "shakara" for his daughters because you had already spoiled us with love.

I remember the father who was always willing to provide whatever was within his power. Looking back now, I'm even more grateful to God for blessing you with the ability to fulfill that responsibility so joyfully.

I remember your tough love too. You could correct me firmly, but somehow every call still ended with, "I love you. God be with you."

That was you.
Strong.
Loving.
Intentional.

One year later, I honestly don't even know how I feel.

Am I sad?
Am I grateful?
Am I at peace?
I really don't know.

All I know is that this has been the hardest year of my life.

A year filled with highs and lows.

A year of learning to live with a space that can never truly be filled.

There have been days I missed you so much I just wanted to hear your voice. There have been days I wondered, "Where is my daddy?" by @houseoftomaniere

Somewhere along the line, I realized something!

I keep waiting for big moments, for people, for milestones, for “special occasions” before allowing myself fully feel celebrated…

But this loud season? I am choosing differently 💕💕💕

I am choosing to give myself flowers.
To celebrate growth loudly.
To acknowledge how far God has brought me.
To speak kindly to myself.
To romanticize the little joys.
To honor the girl who kept going even when life got heavy.

Because if there’s one thing I know now, it’s this:
God has been good to me!💕

And this season, I refuse to downplay His goodness in my life.
I refuse to shrink.
I refuse to act small about answered prayers, growth, healing, grace, joy, and becoming.

So yes…
buy the flowers 🌸
take the pictures 📸
celebrate the progress 🥹
thank God loudly 💕💕💕

Welcome once again to my loud gratitude season! 💕 by @houseoftomaniere

Who invites people in less than 72 hours and still gets almost 30 people showing up with gifts, love, energy, laughter, and beautiful vibes? 💕

Apparently…me 🥹See beautiful people now!

Honestly, this entire experience reminded me that God has surrounded me with genuinely beautiful people, and for that, I’m deeply grateful. We prayed, painted, laughed, played games, gist-ed, ate, loved on each other, and just had the most wholesome time everrrr! 💕💕💕

Thank you to every single person who showed up for me. Thank you for the gifts, the intentionality, the prayers, the effort, the love, and your presence, truly the best gift a girl could ask for. 🫶🏽

Special shoutout to my big sisters @lhardells and @boluomidiji for sponsoring the hangout and making sure baby girl had an amazing time🤍 I love you both deeply.

This honestly felt like one big warm hug from God, and I’m so grateful.

We definitely have to do this again! 💕💕💕

This birthday was actually LOUDDD!

Funny thing is… I really didn’t even have anything planned 😭
I was in training all day, got home tired, and honestly just wanted to rest small 😂

Only for @___oluwaferanmiiiii @ovonomuoja and @abs49 to completely scatter my plan with love and surprises. At this point, they truly understood the assignment and aligned perfectly with my loud season.
Because what do you mean by this level of intentionalityyyy???

The gifts, the effort, the sweetness, the thoughtfulness… my heart is honestly so full.

One thing I will never stop doing is thanking God for good people.
Because wow… God really loves me through people.

My Shaylassss
Thank you for loving me loudly.
Thank you for celebrating me intentionally.
Thank you for making me feel seen and special even on a day I thought would be quiet

I love you both so muchhhh! 💕💕💕

This is no longer just a birthday…
this is evidence of God’s goodness and love all around me by @houseoftomaniere

Happy New Month beautiful people!💕💕💕

And thank you… truly, thank you 🥹

I have seen the messages, the calls, the prayers, the posts, the gifts, the love, the surprises, the kind words, and the intentionality. I may not be able to respond to everyone individually yet, but please know that I see it all and I appreciate every single one of you deeply!

One thing this birthday reminded me of is that God has blessed me with truly amazing people!
Good people are such a gift, and I do not take any of you for granted.

Thank you for celebrating me loudly.
Thank you for loving me intentionally.
Thank you for speaking life over me.
Thank you for making me feel seen and special.

Honestly, my heart is so full 🥹

And as we enter this new month, welcome officially to my loud gratitude season!💃🏽
A season of thanksgiving.
A season of testimonies.
A season of acknowledging God openly.
A season where we will not keep quiet about the goodness of God.💕

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” — Psalm 126:3

May this month bring you peace, favor, loud testimonies, beautiful surprises, and evidence of God’s goodness on every side.

I love and appreciate you all so much 🥹

My full fit is from the best, @boluomidiji you have a special lace in my heart! by @houseoftomaniere

Happy Birthday to my precious sister, my Oluwatoyin. ❤️
Today, my heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for your life. Sometimes I sit and wonder how blessed I am that God gave me not just a sister, but you. My only sister, my person, my safe place, my answered prayer. There are so many things I may never fully be able to put into words, but one thing I know for certain is that I love you deeply, completely, and beyond what words can ever explain.

May God continue to enlarge your coast and establish everything your hands touch. The doors that only God can open will open unto you. Nations will favor you. Mercy will speak for you. In moments when you feel weak, may God carry you. In moments when you feel unseen, may He remind you how deeply loved you are.
Thank you for being the amazing woman that you are. Thank you for loving me the way you do. Thank you for always being there. Life is sweeter because I have you in it, and I will never stop thanking God for you.
Happy Birthday to the most amazing sister anyone could ever ask for. I love you endlessly, the best sister . ❤️ by @houseoftomaniere

It’s my birthdayyyyyy 💃🏽

First, I just want to say thank You Jesus, for life, for growth, for grace that has carried me through every single season, for mercy that speaks louder than my mistakes, and for love that has never failed me.

I don’t even know how to fully explain it… but I am SO excited for this new season. Like deep down in my spirit, I just know God is not done with me yet.

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth…” — Book of Isaiah 43:19

This is my new season.
My loud season.
My becoming season.
My increase, grace, joy, and testimony season.

And honestly… I feel loved, I feel seen, I feel held by God!

So today, I’m just here smiling like a child because God has been too faithful to me.

Happy birthday to meeeee, Oluwamitoyin Adeneye Akindele💃🏽
Please love on me big ooooo, pray for me, celebrate me, speak life over me, and just join me in thanking God for my life.

Here’s to more light, more love, more impact, more laughter, and more evidence of God’s goodness in my life!
