Birthdays are fun, especially when celebrating with a friend; however, when you are far away, it feels like you lack the ability to pass on your wishes. In the current world, people spend most of their time working, and friends are often separated by distance, so there is nothing as special as developing ways of showing your friends how much you love them on their birthdays. It is especially difficult if a friend has moved and lives in a different city, state, or even country, but knowing that someone cared enough to send them a birthday card can go a long way. In this blog post, I have gathered a list of long-distance birthday messages that are warm and special and will wish your friend a happy birthday despite the distance apart. Allow me to share how we can continue to make birthdays remarkable while being far apart!
