A massive ke ya leboga to Centurion Community Church of the Nazarene for celebrating this milestone with me โ for the beautiful cakes, amazing gifts, balloons and, most importantly, the LOVE! โค๏ธ
And those cakes from Molokobakes? Yoh! At 50, Iโm supposed to be watching my diet, but whatโs a birthday without cakes? ๐๐

Life is better when we do it together. We need people who pray with us, laugh with us, walk with us and occasionally tell us when our idea is โnot going to work, my broer.โ ๐
