Another year has slipped quietly into the past, faded into the pages of time. Countless stories have been woven into the canvas of your life, countless paths which your footsteps have fallen, how much of the world you have gathered within your soul—perhaps all of them are touched by bliss, anger and sorrow—and still, I am grateful, I thank you for remaining strong, that you are still here, stand by me and the others, to experience all that life has yet to place before you, to embrace all the life has to offer.Time and again, I offer my gratitude unto God for the grace of your existence, your laughter, your tears; for in the vastness of His creation and love, our paths may crossed to each other. My heart remain forever grateful, you presence is one I never cease to cherish. Thank you for existing, for being here and for becoming the soul you are today, may you always remember that your existence, in all its becoming, matters to me, a lot—as I treasure you, as if you’re the finest diamond world could offer, the fairest.You are, to me, a beauty I could ever asked the heavens to bestow, the loveliest parts of my life. The fairest one this mortal life has granted me, a tender light in the midst of a world so broken and weary. You are not merely a passing wonder, but a presence I have come to cherish—thus, from the deepest chambers of my heart, I pray that we may weave another new tales side by side upon the blank pages of this new chapter of your life.I cannot give you much, for I own nothing of great worth nor riches worthy of being laid at your feet. Yet what little is truly mine I may still offer to you; my soul. Keep it, if you will, as a small and humble gift from me with a hope laid upon it that it may keep you company in those quiet hours when sorrow comes to rest against your heart or solitude draws its seat beside you. As should the world grow, should the road before you become weary and dark, I pray you remember that somewhere, beneath this same heavens, there shall always be a place that waits for you, that you’re not wholly alone. I treasure you a lot, cherish you with all of my might and soul—I cherish you beyond the measure of the mortal world and keep you ever within the sacred chambers of my heart.May this new chapter of your life unfold beneath gentler skies and may its pages be filled with countless moments of laughter, quiet joy and memories worthy of being treasured. May your days be graced by those who cherish you and care for you through every season that lies ahead. May the years ahead and the Universe be generous to you, giving you more moments to savor the joy, treat you gentle as you my loveliest one. Above all, may you never forget that you are worthy of being loved, cherished, accompanied through this journey of life—by the others. By me.Happy birthday to you, dear Dakota, my fairest one.
