All throughout your life, you will encounter special friends, best friends if you will; somebody you will spend all your time with and share all of your secrets with – more than any one of your other friends. Friendships like that are to be treasured, nurtured and kept close. And no matter how old you are, a special birthday gift or card from your very best friend is so much more than an acknowledgment of another year on; it becomes a treasured keepsake.

As you look back on your life, you will remember those special friends, the ones that got you, could read your moods like a weather forecast, know what type of food you liked, what your favorite color was and how many boyfriends you really had at school. As the treasure holder of all of your secrets, you will want to make sure that the birthday card that you give them on their special day reflects all of these beautiful and special qualities in one sentence or so. And if you are one of those people who just do not have a knack with words you are in luck, we have done all the hard work for you.

Just remember that no matter what, as long as you are sincere, it doesn’t matter how the words are placed – your best friend will feel the warmth and the genuine feelings in your quotes. Don’t try and be somebody else; your best friend knows you better than that and will appreciate it more if you were just exactly who you are - it's why you are friends in the first place.

Pick one of the quotes that best describes you and your friendship.
