I made you something.

Happy birthday, Lauryy!

I wanted to make you something that was actually from me, so I made this just for you! I hope it made you smile even a tiny bit.

You’re one of the best things that’s happened to me, and I mean that. One of the kindest souls I know. You always show up when I need you, always there for me, you know how to make me smile and just make me feel better, just having you in my life makes me feel safer to just exist even, and I'll forever be grateful for that. Being your friend makes my days better, and I don’t say that nearly enough.

And I need you to know that you're worth so much more than anyone has ever made you feel, you're really an amazing and wonderful person. You genuinely make my life better.

I hope this year is gentle with you. I hope you get everything you’re hoping for, the big things and the small ones, and you always have people around you who see how good you are. I’ll be one of them, always.

Happy birthday. I’m really glad you exist.

Love you lots

Joseph
