Birthday note from Bimpe Akintunde to her daughter
In a heartfelt message addressed to her beloved daughter, Bimpe expressed her joy and gratitude for the answered prayers they have received. She reminisced about a particular incident when her daughter, at the tender age of five, innocently remarked that Bimpe would be the only one sleeping on their bed every day, highlighting the absence of a husband in their lives. This remark left Bimpe devastated, and she shed tears in response to her daughter's longing for a father figure.
Bimpe continued by recounting her daughter's conversations with her sister-in-law, where she expressed her desire for a father. These moments weighed heavily on Bimpe's heart, and she found herself continuously crying, complaining, and lamenting over her perceived failure to provide her daughter with a complete family.
