This birthday is a big one and more than worthy of great recognition, so I hope you receive some extra special presents and a monumental celebration today!
Your birthday can’t come soon enough as I just cannot wait any longer to celebrate with you, my friend! We’ll have to have a pre-celebration to welcome it in before!
I wish I could get you a lovely gift on your special day this year but because of the distance, this birthday message will have to suffice! Happy birthday!
