Mugithi singer and police officer Samidoh recently warmed hearts online as he celebrated his son’s birthday with a deeply emotional message. Marking another milestone in his son’s life, the singer shared a heartfelt post that reflected the pride and love he feels for his young namesake, Samidoh Junior.
In a touching tribute posted on social media on Thursday, May 29, Samidoh expressed how much he sees himself in his son. He described the boy as a living reflection of his past — a child who carries his energy, dreams, and legacy into the future. Accompanying a photo of himself with his son, the singer wrote a powerful caption: “I see it every day in you. Same fire in the eyes, same rhythm in the soul. Today, I don’t just celebrate your birth, I honour the mirror you’ve become, the legacy you carry, the future wrapped in my past. Happy birthday, my son. May your steps thunder like the ones before you.”
The post resonated with fans, who flooded the comment section with birthday wishes and warm messages for the young boy. It was a proud moment for the father of five, known not only for his music and service in the police force but also for his active role as a dad.
Samidoh has three children with his wife, Edday Nderitu, and two with nominated senator Karen Nyamu. Despite his busy career and public life, he has remained a present and loving father to all his children, often celebrating them during important occasions like birthdays.
Edday Nderitu, his wife, also joined in the celebration with a touching tribute of her own. She marvelled at how quickly her son is growing and reflected on the joy of raising him. Her message was filled with affection, gratitude, and admiration for the little boy she once cradled in her arms.
“My sweet baby is all grown up. Where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was rocking you to sleep, and now here you are — so big, so smart, and becoming your little person,” she wrote. “Watching you grow has been the greatest joy of my life. You’ve taught me so much about love, strength, and patience. Your smile still melts my heart the same way it did the very first time I saw you.”
She went on to shower her son with blessings and good wishes, expressing pride in his kind heart and bright spirit. “I’m so proud of you for your kind heart, your beautiful spirit, and everything you’re becoming. I pray over your life today and always. May God cover you, guide you, and bless you in ways only He can. Happy birthday, my love. You’ll always be my baby, no matter how tall you grow.”
Just a week earlier, on May 22, Samidoh had shown the same level of love and appreciation to Edday as she celebrated her own birthday. She had posted a message of self-reflection and gratitude, celebrating her strength and journey. Samidoh supported her by sharing memories and kind words, calling her a radiant spirit and a cherished mother to their children.
These heartfelt messages from both parents serve as a beautiful testament to their love for their family and their shared dedication to raising strong, compassionate children.
