Happy Birthday,
Phyllis
Yes, this is late. No, I'm not sorry — good wishes don't come with an expiry date, and neither does how much you're loved.

The Cake, Though
Honestly the cake alone deserved its own party. Ten out of ten, no notes — except the ones written in frosting.
For You, Phyllis
Happy birthday — a little late, I know. Consider it fashionably delayed rather than forgotten, because you have been on my mind since the actual day.
Here's to another year of you being exactly, unapologetically you: warm, a little chaotic in the best way, and the kind of person people are just glad to know. Thank you for the laughs, the randomness, and for being the friend you are.
I hope this year hands you everything you've been quietly hoping for, and a few good things you didn't even know to ask for. Cheers to you, always.
