A Tribute from His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, to Her Highness, Olori Atuwatse III

My darling Olori,

As we celebrate another year of your life, I am filled with immense gratitude to the Almighty for His continued grace upon you. This day not only marks your birth but reminds me of our beginning—a journey that has only deepened in love, purpose, and shared destiny with each passing moment.

Your unwavering support, your strength, and your quiet courage have been my anchor. You wear your many hats with such grace, dignity, and wisdom—always putting service above self, always leading with a heart full of compassion.

As a Queen, you embody the true essence of nobility—compassionate, kind, and generous. Your tireless dedication to our people, your empowering voice for women and youth, and your commitment to uplifting lives have become hallmarks of your reign.

As a mother, you are the heartbeat of our home—nurturing, gentle, and fiercely devoted. You guide our children with wisdom and grace, building them up with love and intention that will shape their futures and ground their identities.

And as my beloved wife, you are my peace and my joy. You are the sunshine that lights up every day, the calm that steadies me, and the love that completes me. Your laughter is a melody that fills my soul, and your love is a treasure I cherish more than words can ever express.

On this special day, the children and I say with full hearts: Happy Birthday, my love. May your days be long, joyful, and filled with the same beauty you so freely pour into the world.

With all my love,
His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III
