Some friends hang around for years like unwanted birthday gifts that you just can’t get rid of, while others are purposely kept hold of and cherished forever like the most precious present.
You’re obviously the latter, my friend! Happy birthday!
On your special day, I want to thank you for all the wonderful childhood memories we created together! I’ll cherish them until I’m too old to remember them!
When you’ve been friends for as long as we have, you don’t really have any choice whether or not you remain friends until the end of time. We know far too many of each other’s secrets to ever pull the plug on this friendship!
We sure did have some great times together as kids, but we have even better times now that we’re older! I guess a lot of things get better on their own and improve with age!
I am a true friend, buddy. I’ll always remember your birthday but as a courtesy and out of respect for you, I’ve chosen to stop keeping track of your age!
In my mind, you’re only as old as you feel! Happy birthday to you!
