Being far away from someone who means so much to me and who has played such an important role in my life is tough at the best of times, but even more so on your birthday.
I hope your special day is as special as you are to me, sis.
I would love nothing more than to see in a new year of your life with you today, but as this distance prevents us from doing that I’m wishing you well from here.
I might not be able to hand you a gift in person this year, my dear sister, but I can still send you some heartfelt birthday wishes from my heart to yours.
These wishes are travelling a long distance to get to you, they’re coming from far away, but these heartfelt sentiments from your sister have only built up more meaning along the way.
