Dearest Nasirah,
You are the best. In the past 6 going to 7 years, you've never given up on me. Even when I was a major bitch, when I looked like a car just ran over me, just to name a few times.
Nobody makes me smile like you do. Whenever we meet, it never feels like we've not met for so long because we just fall into a conversation. I never seem to run out of things to say to you. And I never tire of hearing your stories. You are such a great conversationalist. You know?
As you turn 19 today, I just want you to know that I think you're AWESOME. You are God's gift to me. Your dimpled smile never fails to make me smile. Your little quirks, unique to you alone never fails to cheer me up when I think of you and how much I miss you.
I know this is starting to sound more like a eulogy than a birthday wish, I'm getting to it. Babe, you could never be more beautiful or funny or smarter than you already are, because to me you are the most gorgeous, funniest, wittiest and smartest girl I've ever had the privilege and pleasure to have known.
I would not trade you for anything else in the world. I will never regret the things we've been through. I'd do all of it in a heartbeat because it means that I can do it with you.
And before today ends, my little prayer for you is so that god bestows on his most deserving creation love and happiness and success. Nobody deserves it more than you do. I love you babe. Always, all ways.
xoxo,
yanni.
