”Happy Birthday Princess. @tolar_ek My first Fruit. I’ve been holding my phone almost feeling like whatever I write about you will Never truly be enough.
Even now it feels like so. Where do I start? You came and everyone in the Hospital said “she’s special” BIG brown eyes, and a Big mouth that was either screaming in a heartwrenching manner or smiling So Big it took your breathe away.
You’re still so Special.
The kindest Girl I know… You’re secure, happy, God fearing and constantly aiming, you are Special. In my first Album, I wrote and sang about My Baby girl, I meant every word.
You’re me. A more improved version.
I love you, Princess, continue to be as Hospitable, Understanding yet strong. You are Truly Special.
May God continue to watch Over you and Bless you Richly. #Stronggirl #Greatheart #Babygirl #HappybirthdayPrincess”.
