The best birthday wishes sound like they could only have been written by you. Start from a message here, then swap in something specific - an inside joke, a hope for their year ahead, a memory from last year. A short message that names something real beats a long one that could belong to anyone.
“Thinking of you on your birthday, [name]. There is no pressure to celebrate. I hope you have a little comfort and good company today.”
Allow the person to choose how to spend the day. Avoid insisting they be happy or grateful.
