Daughter by Grace

For over three decades, I have had the privilege of knowing Rev. Dr. Oluwafemi Ikusagba, and one thing that has remained constant is his unwavering love and fatherly care.

Daddy did not just meet me; he chose me. Through the years, he has intentionally and tirelessly fathered me with genuine concern, wise counsel, prayers, and encouragement. Even now, that same love extends to my immediate family. He checks on us regularly, celebrates our victories, stands with us through challenges, and constantly reminds us that we are not alone.

One thing that always touches my heart is how much he loves my daughter. Every time he sees her, he makes it a point to bless her with a gift. It is never about the gift itself but the thoughtfulness behind it. She knows she is loved by Grandpa, and as a parent, that means so much to me.

Daddy’s life has taught me that fatherhood is not merely a title; it is a commitment. He has consistently shown up, year after year, decade after decade, pouring himself into the lives of others without seeking recognition.

At 50, I celebrate a man whose love is genuine, whose heart is large, and whose impact on my life and family cannot be quantified. Thank you, Daddy, for choosing to walk this journey with us. We are better because God gave us you.

Happy 50th Birthday, Daddy. We love and appreciate you deeply. ❤️🥂🎉
