Pharm. Ogbonna Gideon

Dear Warrior,

1. Today, celebrate your strength.
2. Recount your journey and celebrate your many victories.
3. I know you have unanswered questions — like why you were born a warrior, why your parents made a mistake, why you came into this world.
4. But I’ll like you to see the answer in the positives.
5. You were born an inspiration.
6. Do you know how many look at you daily and their hope is revived?
7. Being called a warrior goes beyond surviving pain because by just living your life, you are depositing seeds of survival into the body of others.
8. You are giving others a reason to live, to never give up.
9. So celebrate yourself.
10. Only you could have achieved this.
11. Learn to love your body.
12. Your pain is like a phoenix’s ashes.
13. And you’ll always rise into beauty, into a paragon of strength.

Happy Warrior’s Day.
Happy June 19.
