Dear…
The candles that light up your birthday cake today will never shine as brightly as that special light that shines forth from inside of you. In so many ways, you make this world a better place just for being you. In all you’ve been and all you’ve become, I overflow with pride.
Thinking of you today reminds me of all the beautiful ways you have touched my life and the lives of others. Things have changed over the years but two things that have always been and will never change are …
... how much love I hold in my heart for you, and ... how lucky I am that you are my __(son/daughter)__.
Happy Birthday, __(name)__!
All my love,
