Happy birthday. The day you were born is still one of the most important days in my own life, even if I don't remember it.

Sister, I love you in a way that doesn't translate well to a card. So please hear it in the way I always pick up. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to the sister who taught me, the hard way, what loyalty looks like. Still teaching me.

Sister, you make me brave on the days I'm not. Happy birthday. May this year be soft to you in all the right places.

Happy birthday. Some bonds you choose, some you inherit. The best ones are both. That's us.

Sister, may the year ahead bring you the kind of joy you've quietly stopped expecting. You deserve to be surprised in the good direction.
