My dearest padrino, Tata Oriate:
I hold immense gratitude and love for you—for your guidance, your patience, and the many ways you have poured into my life and my path. What you have given me goes far beyond instruction; it has shaped who I am becoming.
My heart is deeply full from the incredibly generous and expensive Christmas gift you have given me. Outside of my family or a partner, I have never received something so personal, so intentional, and so full of care. Knowing that my nganga is now able to be scratched over and used for initiations, fills me with profound humility and reverence. I’m also incredibly grateful that you did this for me without payment.
This is one of the most meaningful gifts of my life, and I will carry it with responsibility, devotion, and respect. I look forward to a lifetime together.
Thank you, always, from the deepest place in my heart. ❤️
