I would love nothing more than to be beside you on your birthday this year, my dear, but the fact that you’re always on my mind makes it feel as though you’re with me all the time. You’re in my heart and in my thoughts all the time, sweetie.
I hope you enjoy your special day today and know that I’m sending you lots of birthday love from where I am.
Happy birthday! On your birthday this year, I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for all of your help and support! You’re a great friend and coworker!
