She thanked God for using all the well wishers to inspire her and confirm to her, in no uncertain terms, that life is still worth living and that there’s hope yet for humanity.

“May our God continue to bless you and use you for His glory! Do have a lovely day today and just know that I loooove you sooo much. And I know the God I love and serve will bless you all for me today and always.” she said.

Among the people that lined up to send well wishes to her was her husband, president Museveni, who in his message, thanked her for the love and commitment to God.

“Thank you Janet, for your love and commitment to God, our family  and the people of Uganda. May He grant you many more years of health.” Museveni posted on Friday.
