I remember that day in 2006 when you walked into the banking hall of GTB Oba Akran Avenue. I remember thinking to myself, 'I know this guy' and smirking upon realisation that we lived in the same hood and you were one of those 'barracks' guys that I would never talk to 😏.
I remember you asking me if Shehu was my brother and if I was one of those Alliowes in Ifako and I still feigned ignorance not to know you - I had to, it's a girl thing you see 😊

I remember how my mum was utterly smitten when she found out that we worked together and were getting quite close... She was (still is) a fan of your family! 😄
I remember that day on our way to work when you said you wanted to ask me for a favour. I asked you what it was and you said you would ask me later... I remember you and Aisha giggling in the vault as we cashed out that day - you had told her and she gave me a funny (no, naughty) look... That day, you asked me to be yours, in passing, it was nothing special! No kneeling down, no ring; It was just a favour you wanted me to do for you... I did and I am glad I did!
It's been an entire decade... 10 years! Wow! It sure sounds like a lot but it really feels just like 10 days. I can't believe we are 10 years already. You have been my husband, my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my alfa, my mentor, my bodyguard, my doctor, my number one fan... You have loved me selflessly; you have allowed me to thrive and shine - Thank you!
You know when I am tired and make me feel alright; when I have had a really bad day and make it all go away; when the boys are getting on my last nerve and come to my rescue. You root for me on every single step that I take; you even watch Indian films for hours (me too I watch football oh, even though I am on my phone while you watch... lol); and you even speak fake hindi too 😊
Oh joy! How I bless the day you came into my life... We are not perfect individuals but we make a great team! It has not been easy but by Allah, we have triumphed.
I don't say it a lot like you do 😍 but I love you very much - bahut pyar karata! You are a very good person - achchhe aadamee hain - and I am grateful to God that you are mine! Tu Meri!
Soldier daddy 😜, the boys love you a lot too; I am sure you know that...
Olamilekan, I pray to God to keep us together forever and stronger too...
Thank you for being you and for being mine!
Happy Anniversary Baby...
Love,
Rahmie 😘
