To the one who knows my heart without me speaking a word,
Who has held my hand through storms and sunshine alike,
Today, I celebrate not just your birth, but the blessing your life has been to mine.
✦
Through the darkest valleys and the highest peaks,
You've remained steadfast—a constant in a world of change.
Your strength has been my shelter,
Your wisdom, my guiding light,
Your laughter, the melody that brightens my darkest days.
✦
When words failed me, you understood my silence.
When tears fell, you caught them with grace.
When joy overflowed, you celebrated as if it were your own.
This is what makes you extraordinary—this gift of true presence.
On your birthday, I wish for you everything your generous heart deserves:
May your days be filled with moments that take your breath away,
May your path be lined with people who love you as deeply as you love others,
May your dreams find wings and soar beyond even your wildest imagination.
May the universe conspire to bless you beyond measure—
With health that never wavers,
With peace that surpasses understanding,
With joy that bubbles from within,
With love that wraps around you like the warmest embrace.
For all the times you've been my anchor, my confidante, my sister by soul if not by blood—
I am eternally grateful that our paths intertwined.
Happy Birthday to the most beautiful soul I know.
May this year bring you abundant blessings, unexpected miracles,
and the knowledge that you are treasured beyond words.
With all my love,
Matthew
