Sharing a room with you all those years, I don’t think we could ever keep secrets from each other, could we? Now I don’t see as much of you, and I suppose you’ve been collecting secrets all these years. When I see you, though, the time melts away and nothing stands between us once again. Happy birthday, brother.

Those long, lazy summer days, when we had nothing to do but watch the sky and find faces in the clouds, did you ever think it would come to this? Happy birthday to my successful, handsome, adult brother.

We fought a lot, but we made up. We wrecked things, we got in trouble, but we survived. Happy birthday to the guy who pulled me through in good times, bad times, happy times and the worst times. You are a real brother to me.

You were always taller than me, stronger than me, faster than me, smarter than me. Every time I caught up, you were ready to go on to the next thing. And now it’s your birthday, and you’re older than me by another year. Someday, big brother, I swear I’ll catch up.

Little brother, you were always tagging along after me. I tried to shake you, but it never worked for long. Thanks for sticking around all those years. I had fun with you, and now things are great. Happy birthday to my favorite family member.

No sister ever adored her brother the way I once adored you. We were so little at that time. Want to know a secret? I never got over it. I still think you’re adorable, my brother. Happy birthday from your favorite sister (I hope)!

Brother, you’ve been a true friend and a loyal ally. I couldn’t have asked for a better companion. Happy birthday.
—
Even though we don’t see each other as much anymore, I still feel close to you. We shared so much growing up — good times and bad — and that will never go away. I wish you the best for your birthday and for the coming year. Let’s get together and celebrate.

No one had to tell you when I felt bad or needed some help. I hope I was always there for you, too. Dearest brother, best friend, how did we keep from getting into one fight too many? Happy birthday. The years are being very good to you.

I wish you the best birthday in the world. I hope you get all the toys you want, and I hope you share them with me. That’s the way it should always be. Together for life, that’s our motto. Right, brother?
