One of Dr Tosin Ajayi’s widows, Helen Prest, has expressed conflicting sentiments about her birthday celebration, despite her gratitude to God for the new age.
Helen Prest said on her Instagram page that she is grateful to God for maintaining and upholding her throughout the horror of the past year, and that he has surrounded her with angels at all times.
Helen Prest told that she was called a few days ago about doing a photoshoot with her, but she declined because she didn’t have time, but when the stylist disclosed her birthday was September 17th, she felt it was divine.

According to Helen Prest, her birthday is no longer the same as she recalls how her husband gives her surprises during her birthdays, however, her children carried out the tradition by giving her a surprise.
She wrote: Today is the first day of my 365 day journey. I look back and glorify God for his faithfulness, for preserving me and upholding me through the trauma of the past year. He surrounded me with Angels at every point. I truly got to understand the meaning of psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee… 91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands lest thy dash thy foot against a stone.
My latest angel is a darling young girl @sisihannah_ who contacted me a few days ago and said ‘Aunty Helen, I’m a stylist can I do a photo shoot with you with you?” I said “no, really I don’t have time for that now”, but when she revealed that her birthday was September 17th I thought, now that’s divine!
Of course my birthday will not be the same without Doc’. Whenever anyone asked me what are you doing for your birthday? I would answer, I don’t know. My birthday was always a surprise. The one day I get to do nothing. My late husband was organiser in chief and co-conspirator with the girls. Don’t ask me what I’m doing today, the girls have carried on the tradition of giving me a surprise. It’s too late for me to change now.
Even though it’s bittersweet I celebrate today in gratitude. I am grateful for the gift of good health, a loving family, good friends and of course my angels. I wish all my September birth brothers and sisters joyous celebration!
