The joy of a childhood birthday
For most children, their birthday is the one day that shines solely on them. Beyond the excitement of presents and parties, this day strengthens their sense of self-worth and belonging. It’s a reminder that they are valued, loved, and celebrated for who they are.
​This tradition isn't about dwelling on the possibility of not being there; rather, it's the certainty of your love reaching your child every year, without fail.
​Preparing birthday messages, whether written or recorded, ensures your child always feels you there, celebrating their special day with them. It's locking in your love: your bond reinforced, year after year.
Putting such thought into their future personalities and what they might need to hear proves to your child how much they matter to you - that you were willing to make this effort just for them. Of course, hopefully it's you who gets to deliver the cards on the day anyway, and you can all have a chuckle over the sentimentality of it all.
