Happy Birthday Prof. Emeritus Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka

There are father and there are fathers. Some are called fathers only because they are biological fathers, whereas others are called fathers because they play fatherly roles. But you are a father because you embody the very spirit of fatherhood.

You are a father because you are caring and compassionate. You are a father because you are God-sent. You are a father because you love everybody. 

You are a father because you are indispensable. You are a father because you are an inspiration. Above all, you are a father because you are extraordinary in all disciplines. 

Indeed, where everybody is sitting, you are that man who is seen standing. Where everybody is standing, you are that man who is seen as outstanding. And of course, where everybody is outstanding, you are that man who is seen as the standard. 

You are the shining example of our ménage, and I am so much inspired by your astounding accomplishments despite your humble beginnings. The success story of this country cannot be written without the countless mention of your name. 

Your passion and desire to succeed have always been formidable, and I must confess on how exulted I am to call you my Father. It is, without doubt, an immense joy and a divine blessing to have a true Hero like you for a Dad. 

You are the secret behind my great steps and the many astounding victories that I have chalked in this life. You are a great pillar in every department of my life and that of the hundreds and thousands you are fathering. 

You are our first hero; our champion; our benefactor; our friend; our hope; our mentor; our inspiration; our light; our guide; and indeed, our everything. 

We cannot thank God enough for giving us an extraordinary father. We cannot thank God enough for giving us a father of all fathers. You were always the best example to follow and we are so proud of you. 

On this special day in your life, I am pleased to join my immediate siblings including Hanny, Daniella and Ohene; and the rest of the world to CELEBRATE you dad. We wish you a long, healthy, prosperous and happy life.
