For most good men it is hard enough to be a father to one child, but to father a nation is a kind of miracle that only comes from (and grows with) wisdom, love and the heart of hero. Madiba, you changed my life in ways you will never know. I am proud of my beliefs and strong enough to stand up for them because you showed me that being afraid doesn't matter but doing the right thing, standing up to be counted anyway is what matters. And if you have a voice it's your duty to speak up for yourself and those who cannot. God bless you every day, and for what it's worth I am proud of you. Lots of love on your special day. Jaqi
