You have always been my hero, big brother. Not the sort of hero you find in comic books or in adventure books, no. You are a real hero, a strong-minded and persistent person; capable of doing anything and everything.
You are the sort of hero people wish they would become, and I always wished I was a little more like you. I want to be as brave and courageous as you are.
You don’t need a cape or a mask to be a hero; you just have to be admired by others and you have an admirer in me, big bro.
Never mind the birthday bumps, coach, today you will be receiving the birthday burpees! Besides, you’re going to need some exercise after eating all that cake!
Seriously, though, I hope you have a mega amazing birthday today just as you deserve!
Happy birthday from your favorite daughter, papa! As you celebrate this milestone that is another wonderful year of your life, I’m wishing you the very best day from my heart to yours!
