Ellis, happy birthday. I hope this next year gives you the same kind of joy that you give so naturally to everyone around you.
You have one of those presences that stays with people. You make things feel brighter, funnier, softer, and more alive just by being there, and that is a rare kind of gift.
I want May 16 to feel like a real celebration of you: your heart, your energy, your beauty, your chaos, your softness, and all the little things that make you exactly Ellis. More laughter. More unforgettable memories. More days that love you back properly.
