Being apart from the person I love most in this world on their birthday is far from ideal, but it just means that we’ll have to have double the celebrations next year to make up for it!
Happy sweet 17th birthday to you, my beautiful dear!
On this very special birthday of yours, I’m hoping that all of your dreams may come true. You’re the sweetest girl who deserves all the goodness that life has to offer.
On your special day this year, I just want to take the opportunity to show my appreciation and tell you how much I look forward to your Sunday service. It’s truly the highlight of my week!
I was going to buy you a pretty piece of jewellery this year for your birthday to compliment your jaw-dropping beauty, my love, but then I thought how unnecessary it would be when you’re already as pretty as you could be!
Happy birthday to the one man who has always been there for me. Your presence in my life means more to me than you’ll ever know, dad.
You’re a great man and a wonderful parent, and I’m just so lucky to have a father like you. I hope you know that I always have and always will be your little girl.
A very happy 18th birthday to you and a warm welcome to adulthood, my dear!
I am so proud of you and the wonderful woman you’ve become, and even though you truly are a grown-up now, to me, you will always be my sweet little niece.
While there’s a long distance that keeps us apart physically, always know that no distance, however great or small, separates how close you are to my heart. I carry you there with me every day.
