My dearest Alinakutti,

Happy Birthday to the person who has made my life a little more beautiful just by being in it. You can officially stop thinking that I’m elder than you from this second. I still can’t believe how much can change from one moment, and somehow, you became such a huge part of my life. Since June 30, 2025, we’ve shared so many moments—some beautiful, some difficult, but all of them special to me. You’ve seen different sides of me, and somehow, you’ve still chosen to stay. I know the past few months haven’t always been easy for you, especially with everything happening around you. But I want you to know that you never have to face those difficult days feeling like you’re alone. I’ll always be here to listen to you, annoy you, make you laugh, and remind you how loved you are. You deserve a life filled with peace, happiness, and all the little things that make your heart smile. I’m so proud of the person you are, even on the days when you don’t feel proud of yourself. There’s something about you that I can never properly put into words. You’ve become a part of my everyday thoughts, my plans, my happiness, and even my worries. And honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way. Thank you for every laugh, every conversation, every hug, every silly moment, and every memory we’ve created together. Thank you for loving me even when I’m difficult, stubborn, or just being myself. I hope this birthday reminds you of how special you truly are—not just to me, but to everyone lucky enough to have you. I hope this new year of your life brings you more reasons to smile than reasons to cry. And I hope I get to be beside you for as many of those smiles as possible. No matter where life takes us, I’ll always be grateful that our paths crossed. Here’s to you, to us, and to all the beautiful memories we still have waiting for us. Happy Birthday, my love. Yours Joelrose.
