Seeing you become a woman today is a true highlight in my life, my beautiful niece.
I’m so proud to be your aunt and it has been a real privilege for me to watch you grow up so wonderfully. You always were a happy kid and I just hope that continues into adulthood for you too.
Happy 18th birthday, my fabulous niece! Now you’re actually old enough to do some of the things I’ve been letting you get away with for some years already!
I hope you enjoy this new age of yours and the new-found freedom and privileges that come with it!
Some years prior, on this very day, you came into my life bringing much joy and love. Happy birthday, my beautiful niece! Thank you for being who you are and for making my life happier, just because you’re part of it.
