Dear Martin!

Today we celebrate not only your birthday, but also the fact that you are becoming more and more of a man every day. I look at you with pride because I see in you the perseverance, love and strength that will guide you on your path.

The flame of the candles today not only decorates the cake, but also symbolizes the light that burns within you: your faith, hope and dreams. I wish that this light never goes out and always leads you to where happiness, love and peace await you.

Happy 17th birthday, my son!
