Union's post featured an evolution of Wade's photos, dating back to his early childhood. She also penned a heartfelt caption that read:

"Having a front row seat to your evolution as a man, a husband, father, businessman, friend, commentator, public speaker, Oscar nominated producer, podcast host, team owner, and even as a neighbor has been nothing short of wondrous. Your ascension WILL be televised. Your self awareness, your ability to be vulnerable, your natural laugh and smile, your dogged determination to protect the rights of folks who have been marginalized."

Union continued by saying:

"You are who many claim to be. You are 1 of 1 baby. And like you said when your family sat frozen when it was time to evacuate last week, 'IT'S GO TIME!' You are our loving, handsome leader and this is YOUR TIME! Happy 43rd birthday BayBeeeeeee."

Wade has transitioned to a leader off the court following his Hall of Fame basketball career. He was recently honored with a statue in front of the Miami Heat's home arena, Kaseya Center.
