Another year has flown by, hasn’t it? It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating your last birthday, and now here we are again, ready to shower you with love and good wishes!

It’s a day to truly cherish the person and all the happiness they bring into our lives.

But I know this year might feel a little different, a little heavier. This is your first birthday without [Spouse’s Name], and the absence of their laughter, their smile, and their presence is undoubtedly felt in every corner of your heart. Those familiar traditions, the shared memories you both created, they’re all intertwined with a love that’s still so present, even if they aren’t physically here.
