Birthday Wish for friend

Remember when we thought birthdays were mostly about cake and a few texts, and now I’m sitting here thinking about how much room a person can make for other people without ever making a big speech about it? That’s you, honestly. You have this way of showing up that feels quiet until you step back and realize how much steadier things are because you were there. I keep thinking about the small things — the check-ins, the dry little comments, the way you make ordinary days feel less heavy. I’m really glad I get to know you, and I hope this year gives you a little of that same steadiness back, in the places you need it most.
