Heartwarming Long Distance Friendship Messages
I’m lucky I was given a chance to meet someone like you. Whatever happens and wherever we are, I’ll always treasure you because I know I'll never have another friend like you.
Sunshine or rain, friends always soothe the pain. Morning or night, best friends make everything alright. Near or far, I know where you are.
We should remember and care about our friends not only while we’re together, but when they’re far away. Long-distance friendship is the strongest one.
Throughout my life, everyone could see the tears in my eyes but only you could feel the pain in my heart. Thanks for being my friend, wherever we are in the world.
We may not have each other’s company every day like before. But deep in our hearts, we two are so strongly connected that nothing can tear us apart.
No distance can weaken our friendship. We will always be on each other’s thoughts as long as there is a word called friendship in the dictionary!
Our friendship will always grow stronger regardless of the distance that separates us or the time that passes. We are friends for life and always will be!
We may not share the same space anymore but we have shared some of the most colorful memories in our lives together. Our friendship will grow stronger every time we think of them.
Since you are away from me, my days are spent thinking of you and remembering the moments we have shared together! I hope you are thinking of me too.
People may move from one place to another, but memories stay in the same place forever, that is in our hearts. It’s those memories that keep us connected forever!
Don’t measure the distance by the length of a meter or a mile but in terms of our hearts. It is far away but not by heart. You and I will always be best friends.
Not even the greatest distance can end a friendship as beautiful as ours, I am sad you are so far away but I know that we will always be very close.
I want to tell you that no one could replace you because you are still my favorite friend, and I hope to see you soon. Remember that I am always thinking of you.
Friends are like a second family, do not let the distance or lack of time keep you away from them. If we always keep communicating and then our friendship will become much stronger every day.
I still cannot get used to my days without you. I know that there will be no friend like you in my life, so I can’t wait until we’re close in miles but we’ll always be close in our hearts.
Without you, sometimes I feel bored and your absence causes pain to my heart. And after that, I feel very lucky to have someone so special like you to miss. Thinking of you!
A true friendship is not affected by how far the two people are. I miss you friend and I will always remember the special times we spent together and look forward to the special times we’ll have in the future.
I haven’t seen you in a while, yet I often imagine all your expressions. I haven’t spoken to you recently, but many times I hear your thoughts. Best friends don’t always have to be with each other. It is the feeling of oneness when distant that proves a lasting friendship.
We love, we care and we feel for each other. Even though many miles separate us, our hearts will never apart. We will be the crazy, stupid and weird best friend forever!
If friendship is sincere it will last throughout our whole lives, it may be that our friends are absent for some time, but that does not affect the bond that unites us.

When someone you cherished now celebrates their birthdays in Heaven, it leaves you feeling lonely. This is understandable, and you are definitely not alone in your feelings of grief. Thankfully, there are still ways for you to still wish your loved one a happy birthday in Heaven, and ways to thoughtfully iterate it, too.
Here are some special happy birthday wishes to speak in your heart for your loved one this year on their special day.
• “Happy birthday, ________. I don't think you could ever know how much I miss you right now. I wish more than anything that we could be together again to celebrate your day. But I know we will again one day.”
• “It's your birthday, but it doesn't feel like it without you here. It doesn't matter; I'm going to celebrate it like you are here because I know that's what you would have wanted. I love and miss you so much.”
• “I know you're in Heaven and that your birthday there must be way better than any party I could have thrown for you here. And maybe I'm being selfish when I say that I wish you were still here anyway. Happy birthday, love.”

• “We can't go out celebrating today like we used to. But I wanted you to know that I'm still going out – still going to stop by all our old haunts, still going to buy you a birthday gift, still going to raise a glass in your memory. I love you, _______, happy birthday in Heaven.”
• “I used to think that this day would get easier every year that went by. But quite the opposite has happened. Happy birthday, sweetie…I can't wait for the day we can truly celebrate you again.”

• “There's so much I want to tell you, Mama, and so much I want to hear you tell me. But on today, your special day, I simply want to wish you a happy birthday in Heaven.”
• “Happy birthday, Mother. How I wish I was there to celebrate with you.”

• “Happy birthday to the man who taught me all about the Reason I know I'll get to see you again one day: Jesus.”

Your brother has been by your side through it all. You've always enjoyed celebrating birthdays together, but this year is going to be different.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Poems
Sometimes a little poetry can speak our emotions for us when we can't get the words out ourselves. These are written by yours truly and are free for personal use.
Mother's Memory
Night had fallen, on the eve before
And I knew it wouldn't be the same
As last year, or the year before
So I simply said your name.
I cried in my sleep and wished you were close
By me still to rock and hold
My hand in the dark, my head to your chest
And whisper softly, a mother's caress:
“It's okay, I'm fine. I'm at the Lord's feet
I'm dreaming of you and the day we can meet
To celebrate again that one day each year
The reason I was born at all: to love you, my dear.”
Tonight
Tonight I'll raise a glass to you
In a mournful sort of way
To celebrate who you once were
How you lived your life each day.
I'll cry a toast to evermore
I'll dance alone in our room
I'll light a candle then blow it out
I'll sing a song to you.
I'll tell everyone how hard it's been
Yet it won't be honest enough
I'll cry into your tear-stained pillow
Yet it won't bring you back, my love.
Every year's the same, and it'll always be
Only me alone, and never you and me
To celebrate your special day
To live, to laugh, together be
The angels better treat you well
The Lord, I know He does
But until I can see you with my own eyes
I'll remember you and what was.
Birthday Wishes from Heaven (on YOUR Birthday)
What about when it's YOUR birthday, and your loved one is no longer with you? How can you possibly celebrate YOUR day when the one person you want to celebrate with literally can't?
If you have a friend in Heaven, and your birthday is about to roll around again (only this time, without them), we have a piece of advice for you:
Celebrate anyway.
Why? Because it's what they would have wanted.
If you're finding that hard to imagine, here are some “birthday wishes from Heaven,” conceptualized messages from your loved one to help you feel just a little more content today:
• “You would not believe how beautiful it is here. Sorry, but I wouldn't want to leave Heaven for earth again any day – even your birthday! I look forward to the day we can celebrate YOU again, together.”
• “Happy birthday, __________. I know today is hard for you without me and I'm so sorry I had to leave you behind. When you get here, I'll catch you up on everything.”
• “The Lord called my name and I had to go. But it's on days like today that I wish earth had visiting hours. Happy birthday, honey, I love and miss you, too.”
• “I wish I could turn that frown upside down. Because there's no sadness whatsoever here! Happy birthday to you and many more to come before you get up here with me.”
• “Life is so short – I think I have a right to say that now. Enjoy it while you can, live it to the fullest and make the most of all the birthdays you are given. I love you.”
• “When the time comes, we'll get to celebrate your big day again. Until then, keep your chin up, do all the things you want to do, and remember me today and always.”
How to Celebrate the Birthday of Someone in Heaven
For several years after a family friend passed away, I'd buy a 16-ounce of his favorite soda (Sunkist) on his birthday and have a drink in his memory. It was such a simple thing to do, and no one else even knew about it. But it was a way to keep his memory alive in my own mind and heart.
That's something that you could do, too, for your loved one this year on their birthday. Did they have a favorite snack or drink, and was it always served at their birthday parties? Or maybe they had a favorite song (or perhaps you associate a certain song with them). Listen to it on their birthday as a sweet gift to them, in their memory.
Here are some more specific ways that you can celebrate the birthday of your loved one who's in Heaven now:
• Set their photo up and light a candle in their memory.
• Go to their favorite place, be it a certain store, restaurant or park.
• Call their family up and tell them you're thinking of them today.
• Say a prayer just for your loved one.
Happy Heavenly Birthday
One day, we will meet again and then we can celebrate you special day together.
When you're missing your bestie…
Beautiful birthday wishes for the love of your life.
I can't believe it's your birthday and you're not here to celebrate it with us. I miss you!
Mom, oh how I wish I was there with you to celebrate together.
A father's absence is always felt so deeply.
