Oyewole Folarin loves writing greeting-card messages and helping others find the words they need for life's special moments.
Being in a long-distance relationship can be fulfilling. It also means that you have to get creative with how you express your love—be it platonic or romantic—to the person that you care about. Your brother might be deployed. Your girlfriend might be studying abroad. Your son might be visiting family on the other side of the country. Your wife might be off on a business trip. If you want to make sure that your loved one feels important and loved on their birthday despite the distance, these original messages will help convey your deep affection and fondness for that special someone.

Questions & Answers
Question: Can long distance relationships really work?
Answer:
Question: Can I send him a special happy birthday message?
Answer: Yes, you can. Birthdays are one of the special occasions to remember and imagine your past with your loved one. It is a perfect opportunity to remind him how much you care about him and let him know how important he is to you. It is always a good idea to make him feel special, loved, and appreciated on their big day. Even if you are a bit late to send thoughtful messages to him on their special day, you can still send a belated birthday message. Writing a perfect message to convey your feelings can be quite challenging, but it is better than none. I remember a poll I included in one of my articles asking readers “how would you feel if your loved one forgot to send birthday wishes to you?” Of the 303 respondents, 62% of them replied that they would feel sad if their loved one did not wish them a happy birthday. So, sending a birthday message to him would give you the opportunity to express your sincere gratitude and good wishes which make the receiver feel happy and great.
