I
was very unhappy during that period, personally, professionally, and
emotionally, and my life was feeling like a failure on all levels. As
I’d been in the habit for years of writing my thoughts down in letters
(which I usually never delivered), I picked up my trusty yellow legal
pad and began pouring out my feelings.
This time, rather than another letter to another person I imagined to be victimizing me, I thought I’d go straight to the source; straight to the greatest victimize of them all. I decided to write a letter to God.
This letter was a spiteful, passionate letter, full of confusions, contortions, and condemnations. And a pile of angry questions. Why wasn’t my life working? What would it take to get it to work? Why could I not find happiness in relationships? Was the experience of adequate money going to elude me forever? This were all I included in my letter to God but at last I get to know that there are lot and lots of people who I am much more better of and a lot of people who really want to be me then I get on my Knee and do you know what I began to do?
I began to Give God thanks for HE is so good to me, for giving me another chance to see this day and for making me +1 this day 3rd may and to my family and friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER

BY MARSHAL
I want to thank you for the good times we’ve shared and for the ones we’re yet to create!
Giving someone lei symbolizes the love, affection, and respect you have for that person. I have some special leis to honour a few people this day.
To my great family, you have been inspirations to me. You have helped me so much over the years with your unconditional love and support, allowing me incredible security. The faith and values you’ve instilled in me have blessed my life abundantly. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My mother – I have loved you for as long as I can remember and will continue to, till the day I die. Thank you for always being there for me and wanting to protect me.
My brother’s/sister’s– You bring great joy to my childhood memories and continue to bring me joy today. I know you care for me deeply; you prove this to me time and time again with your actions. I love you and am honoured to have you as my family.
To my friends– such incredible times together, we have laughed till it hurts. Rare is a friendship as precious as ours. I love you all more than you’ll ever know.

Hello everybody let me grab a handful of minutes of your attention and congratulate our "newly-born", David, on his birthday, and wish him a couple of things. Well, to be frank, I am very glad to be here today and to see him celebrate his birthday surrounded by friends and close people.
I have known him since our freshman times in Ebonyi State University and it is a pleasure for me to note that he hasn't changed a bit in two years, and is still a cheerful energizer of all our student parties and the soul of the Foundation (OMFI). I always wondered how he contrived to find time for everything, David has always been and is a good mixer ready to listen to a problem and offer some advice. Not less outstanding were his academic merits, as this may he celebrate with honours.
But first and foremost, David is an amazing person, and on his birthday I'd like to wish him simple human happiness. I wish him harmony that comes when all the components of life are balanced: when daily work brings delight and in the evening you hurry back home to be with your family. I wish David inner comfort when you know that somewhere near, at the distance of a phone call, there are old friends who care about you and if you feel blue, they will always come to your place with beer and chips to disperse your problems with a hearty laugh and recollections of turbulent student days. I wish him a year full of pleasant little trifles and joys that give one strength to make great achievements and reach one's goals.
May David most cherished dreams come true, as we stand up and raise our glasses for his birthday and happiness
What an honor and a privilege it has been to witness this amazing young David and his journey towards adulthood. And tonight, David as you stand on the brink of a new chapter in your life, please know that we are so incredibly proud of you and we love you.
May you continue to walk as sure-footed as you always have, may you remain as grounded as you have always been...and may you stay in mind and spirit, forever young.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
