UPBRINGING
The first thing that strike us during investigation of Dr. (Mrs) Florence Adesola Falaiye profile on her FaceBook page is an uncompromising and pure heart of gratitude especially to those that God used in bringing her to this world – her parents. While both parents seemed okay and thankful to God that one of God’s Heritage in their care was successful, Dr. Falaiye went a step further by posting these messages to commend, congratulate and pray for her parents. This she inscribed on her father; “Thanks sir. You are the best father anyone could wish for! The values you imbibed in me (us) form the basis of my everyday living. I will keep on upholding your lessons on hardwork and honesty. Congratulations on the success you’ve achieved on me so far. E ma jeun omo l’oruko Jesu. Amen”. And to her mum, she further prayed, “My dear mother, I celebrate you today. You are a true definition of beauty, elegance, virtuous, simplicity, perseverance, resilience and patience. You are a good example to other mothers. I congratulate you on what God has done, is doing and will do through you and in you. May your ride in life be smooth and sweet and may you live very, very long in good health, peace and joy to enjoy the fruits of your labour. E ma jeun omo pe l’Oruko Jesu. Your husband celebrates you, your children celebrate you, your grandchildren celebrate you, and your in-laws celebrate you. Congrats my dear mother. Eye Desola! Mama Sola!”
