Lieve Lilien,
Happy 27th birthday!
This year I watched you become a Master of Science, land your first job, take the controls of an airplane, and light up every single city we landed in — from San Francisco to London. But my favourite part of every photo in our album isn't the bridge, or the waterfall, or Big Ben. It's that I got to stand next to you.
Today is all yours. Follow the plan, enjoy every surprise, and know that I'd plan a thousand more days like this one for you.
I love you to the moon — and I'll fly you there myself.
— Zeyad
