Unfortunately, this dream was not realized, and the absence of her mother on her wedding day remains one of her greatest pains.

She described her children as her greatest gifts, emphasizing that “God never makes mistakes. He does everything at the right time.”

In a message to her fans, she encouraged those facing difficulties to remain hopeful, declaring that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. She offered prayers for anyone crying out to God for a change, assuring them that their stories would be rewritten.

“Rejoice with me, and if you desire a similar testimony, tap into it. I’ve gone through my share of heartbreaks and challenges, but God came through, giving me exactly what I prayed for,” she shared.
