“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” - Nelson Mandela

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. Yours has not been an easy road but you have walked through it with grace, dignity and forgiveness. I thank God for blessing you with 95 years. May the richness of His blessings resonate in your soul. Happy Birthday Madiba!
