If things tend to get better with age, you must be getting pretty close to magnificent now! Your age is merely the number of years that the world has been enjoying the wonderful person that you are!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear bestie, happy birthday to you! I know you can’t hear me singing this, so you’ll just have to imagine my beautiful voice!
I’m sorry that I haven’t got a gift for you this year, but let’s be honest, just being able to see my beautiful face every day is the best gift in itself!
Happy birthday to a family member I’d actually choose to be around even if we weren’t related!
It’s true that you don’t get to pick your family, but even if you weren’t the close sister-like cousin to me that you are you’d still be my best friend!
Of course, had you thrown a big party on the actual day and invited me, I would have wished you a happy birthday there and then... But, as you didn’t, I’m wishing you a late happy birthday instead!
