You are beautiful inside and out. You are truly an amazing friend! I’m grateful to have you in my life.

Birthdays should be full of smiles, sunshine, happiness, and sweets, but that’s just another day for a gorgeous friend like you. Happy B-Day, my beautiful friend!

It’s very unfair that all your birthdays bring you even more grace and beauty whilst the rest of us collect slower paces and wrinkles. Happy birthday, you ageless wonder.
The secret behind being beautiful isn’t the place you live, the car you drive, the clothes you wear, the face you display, or even the number you call your age; It’s about the soul you carry, and yours, my sweet friend, is as beautiful on your birthday as any other day.
My gift is certain to be the best… I promise not to say a word on Facebook about you celebrating turning the same age four years in a row. As stunning as you look, though, it might actually be true.

For your gift this year, I was going to get you the most awesome present ever, but you already have me and couldn’t possibly need anything else. Best birthday wishes to one of my oldest, dearest friends.
Your number of birthdays is just a reflection of how many years the world has had to enjoy you. Keep making the world a more enjoyable place with many more birthdays to come.
You know you’re getting up in age when you have to put on glasses to read your birthday greetings. Wait, you didn’t have to hunt down the glasses first… that would completely spoil next year’s birthday joke.
