Actress Connie Ferguson penned a heartfelt message to her daughter Alicia Ferguson for her 21st birthday.
The former Generations actress took to her Instagram timeline to recount Alicia’s life’s journey, beginning from the day of her birth until the present.
“This time 21 years ago, I had checked into Parklane Clinic, getting ready to deliver one of the best gifts God has ever given me. As I sit here typing this, that morning is replaying in my head. The anxiety, the excitement, the anticipation! I couldn’t wait to hold you in my arms! Your dad never left my side for a moment!
“When you arrived he cut your umbilical cord. He was the first to hold you before they placed you safely on my chest. I couldn’t stop marvelling at how beautiful and perfect you were! And you have been that for the past 21 years!” wrote Connie.
Connie continued by saying that Alicia bears a remarkable resemblance to her late husband, Shona Ferguson. She emphasized again how Alicia has been a constant source of strength and support for her.
“Dando, Bombo, Sho’s Duplicate, Miss ‘my daddy’s gonna fix my teeth!’ I thank God for you every day! I can’t believe my baby, my last-born child is 21 today! Watching you grow has been my favourite activity.
“I thank God for your life, your heart, your mind, your spirit and your old soul! You have been my rock through the worst of times! I sometimes ask myself where you get your strength, courage and wisdom from, and then I remember that your middle name is Angel! And that’s what you have been, not only to us but to anyone who has had the fortune of your encounter,” she added.
Connie’s message concluded with loving birthday wishes for Alicia on her unique 21st birthday and the assurance that her late father, Shona, was looking out for her.
“I love you so much Alicia Angel Ferguson, and I am so proud that you chose your Dad and I to be your parents. He is smiling and celebrating you from heaven. ‘That’s my seed!’ I can hear him brag!
“You wear him so well, and you wear God well. May God continue to guide your steps, protect and bless you with all your heart’s desires. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL!,” she wrote.
