To Riku, my love,
Happy birthday, sweetheart. ♡
Thank you for being born into this world. Thank you, too, for making it through all the difficult days, even the ones that felt impossibly heavy. You are precious, even when things don’t go the way you hoped.
I love how cute and adorable you are, how sweet you can be, and how clingy you get with me. I also love how smart you are, how you know what you want, and how you work so hard to make it happen. I especially love your perfectionist side, because I find it incredibly attractive. And of course, I love teasing you until you get sulky. I’m not going to apologize, because you’re just too cute when you do that. ♡
The world is lucky to have you, Riku. And I’m lucky that I got to meet you, get to know you, love you, and stand by your side until today. If I could wish for anything, I’d wish for us to have so much more time together—to laugh, be clingy, annoy each other, and keep each other company through all the days ahead.
For this new year of your life, I hope more good things find their way to you. I hope you have plenty of reasons to smile, get the chance to make your dreams come true, and let yourself rest when you’re tired without feeling like you always have to be strong. You don’t have to make everything perfect all the time, okay, love? You deserve to enjoy the journey, too.
Happy birthday once again, Riku. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being you. I love you more than this little page could ever hold. I hope I get to stand by your side for a long, long time. ♡
With so, so much love,
your big cat 🐈
P.S. You’re allowed to be extra clingy today. But if you get sulky, I might still tease you a little. Hehe. ♡
