Wow, my heart is so full! Scrolling through all the anniversary messages yesterday honestly felt like getting a giant, warm hug. Between texts, calls, and all the lovely posts online, I was practically swimming in well-wishes. It’s incredible to realize how many amazing people have been cheering us on throughout our journey.

But honestly, it can be a little overwhelming, can’t it? Trying to respond to everyone individually and express how much each message meant felt almost impossible. I wanted to make sure everyone knew how much we appreciated their support, but the sheer volume of kindness threatened to leave some messages unanswered. I really didn’t want anyone to feel overlooked!

Another year has zoomed by, and it’s already your birthday again! Finding the right words to tell you how much you mean to me can be surprisingly tough. You’re not just my sister, you’re my built-in best friend, my partner-in-crime, and sometimes even my voice of reason (though I don’t always listen, sorry!). So, how do you possibly squeeze all that love and appreciation into a simple birthday message?

Cards and social media are flooded with generic, cookie-cutter wishes that just don’t seem to capture the unique bond we share. “Happy birthday, hope you have a great day!” feels so…underwhelming! I want you to feel truly celebrated, appreciated, and loved, not just another face in the birthday crowd. I really want to avoid sending the same bland message you’ll probably see dozens of times today.
