Undeniably, I’m not perfect, I can never be. I’m still a work in progress, there are still  hurdles to leap and walls to climb. So, thank you all for your prayers and support. Lastly, thank you Lodz, for giving me the strength that I need to withstand the trial, please continue to uplift me. Undoubtedly, I still have a long journey ahead of me. With enthusiasm, I’m looking forward for what the new year will bring to me. See you 2025…
