Amara Kanu, wife of former footballer, Kanu Nwankwo, has on her Instagram wished her son Sean Kanu, a happy birthday.
Kanu shared her journey through motherhood, discussing how she felt when she had him as a teenager 13 years ago.
She did not know what she was doing, she wrote, but through faith and resilience was able to prevail.
She wrote:
13 years ago today. I didn’t know what I was doing. How I was going to be a teenage mum amidst so many Internal and External critics. I was very career driven. How was I going to drop school and take care of my new Valentine baby ?? ????????? But I had faith. And an incredible amount of resilience that saw me through. I remember my mum telling me that what I had in my hands was greater. And then that’s when I looked down at his lovely head full of hair and let out a grateful sigh and this shot was taken. Picture Perfect.

Being a mother is one of the most highest paid jobs in the world since the payment is PURE LOVE. ???? I’m glad I took the leap. Sean Boy. You rock my body. Happy birthday @sean.kanu My Valentine. My love. My motivation. .
I’m emotional today. My baby is a teenager.
Don’t give up on your dreams my lovers.
