Happy 25 to the coolest fool alive. You’ve seen a lot of heavy s**t in your young life and have persevered through all kinds of strife. I’m so proud of the person you have become, kind caring, creative and always there for everyone. You are the best listener and you give great advice, your peeps are so lucky to have you as a friend. As for your old man I want to thank you for sharing your hopes and fears and trusting me to help you see things through to the end. So to wrap up this lengthy birthday gift of prose I wish you health happiness confidence and the clarity to realize what everyone who loves you already knows: You are unique and without equal. If the movie of your life is this cool at 25? I can’t wait to peep the sequel. Love you my child. HBD25!
