When your life is formed by many fathers, you have difficulty with who to showcase as a father.
 
Happy Fathers’ Day to
 
John Amoako Adu-Gyasi, gave birth to me into the Adu-Gyasi’s family.
 
John Amoah, my father-in-law. A special one. The man who gave me a car cleaner when I did not have a car. The man who sees me as a superman, capable of doing everything. He go shy you big time. You have been a motivator. A reader I always wish to match.
Owoahene Kwame Fredua (Ex. W. O. I), one who fathered me into sonship and formed boldness with all the compliments. You should know where the first fruit from my groins came from.
 
Reverend Isaac Kankam Boadu of Grace Community Church, the irreplaceable father in spiritual things I have. I know naming Adom after you is still not enough. Your contribution into my life is beyond measure and God will bless you. Your knowledge in the affairs of life is excellent and causes me to learn more anytime I visit.
 
Samuel Adu-Gyasi, the reason I still desire and count myself with Adu-Gyasi and also wanted to maintain it through generations after me. You are a true reflection of selflessness. I know had it not been because of the kindness you had for your family, you might have gone far.
 
Paul Adu-Gyasi, for your respect for me. Considers me as a peer to contribute to family affairs. Thank you for always giving your all.
 
Godwin Kojo Ayenor, an Uncle who saw me from infancy to be no where less than where I am now. He acted on what he believed in by giving me his suitcase when he had to travel to Cuba and also the attires he used to graduate from his Master’s degree. What he does not know is that I could think of my Ph.D. after making three babies because I knew he had gone through that path. I am not sure what would have become of me if I made it to your Ph.D. graduation.

Ali Nakyea and Abdallah Ali Nakyea, these are still blessing me as fathers.

Richard Bannerman, Mr Asante, Mr. David Dosoo and …
 
I have just realized, I am getting into trouble, so to all fathers I have known in Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists (GAMLS/GABMLS), Kintampo Health Research Centre (KHRC), The Church of Pentecost and all I have encountered on earth.
 
The greatest of my fathers’ day wish goes to those who have fallen asleep, awaiting the coming of the Lord. Among these, is Mr. Ellis Agbeko (W. O, Setor, Eseenam and Edem know), the man who housed a stranger and gave me a family I will forever want to keep. He gave me another home.
 
Now I am sure, readers agree, I should not have started at all, because, even with this unexhaustive list, I may still run into trouble.
