Happy birthday to the one who somehow always manages to make me laugh — even when I’m mad at you for being late (again). I know things are busy for you right now, but I see the way you still try, still show up, still make time — even when it’s not easy.

Thank you for being gentle with me when I’m not always easy to love. For listening, for being patient, for making the chaos feel lighter. Traveling with you, laughing with you, even arguing with you — I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

On your birthday, I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. Not for being perfect — but for being real, for being kind, and for being mine
