A SHORT EXAMPLE
Happy birthday to the person who brings so much light into my days. I loved watching you become even more yourself this year. I hope the next one brings you the joy, peace, and adventure you give so freely to everyone around you.
Make the celebration personal by naming a moment from their year—not only the qualities anyone could write.
Make it feel like yours
