This last year felt lighter because you were in it. Days that could have passed in a blur started to mean something because you were somewhere in them.

When things were heavy, you made them softer. Your calm, your way of looking at details, your design eye that always finds balance, all of that made the chaos feel a little more under control.

You turned hard moments into moments I could actually move through. I am grateful that this year did not pass without you. I do not want the next ones to pass without you either.

I want your next year to feel like a room you designed yourself. Calm, warm, no noise you did not choose, only people and things that deserve to be there.

I wish you work that excites you, flights that match the sky you always loved, and nights that end with laughter not stress. I wish you more peace than you expect and more joy than you planned for.

Thank you for being part of my year. I hope you let me stay in yours.
