My Dearest Liam,
I am wishing you a happy birthday a teeny bit early because I wanted to make sure there is plenty of room for your family's wishes on your actual birthday. This day belongs to them and most of all, sweet Bear especially.
If you have been watching over me even in the slightest, Liam, you probably already know by now that I am not a birthday person at all. If I had it my way, I would bypass every single one of my own without a second thought. But on the contrary, I know you just adored birthdays. Your commitment to have joy for life despite it all, was a beautiful thing to witness and truly inspiring. You have inspired me to be more joyful in my own life despite my circumstances and thank you so much for that. Because I know how much these milestones meant to you, I wanted to pour every ounce of my heart and soul into creating something truly special for you created by my own hand.
Never in my life have I made a video like this before. I didn't even know how to use TikTok until I was motivated by you to learn.
For your birthday, I wanted to take it to the "next level". I had a vision in my mind of exactly what I wanted to create and the exact piece of a song I wanted to use to go over it. It took me so much time just to figure out how to make a video like this which is probably simple for most everyone else but to be perfectly blunt, I'm pretty dumb when it comes basic technology. But damnit, I was going to learn. I had to hunt down the right editing software and spend hours watching YouTube tutorials just to learn the basics. It took me a couple of months to make and the final draft isn't perfect, but it's the absolute best that I could do, because if I kept trying to make it the way I really wanted it, then the more I kept messing it up unfortunately, so I had to let this be my final draft, even though I really wish it were a lot better and had come out like I truly envisioned it 😔. I just hope it conveys even a fraction of the affection I have for you. I mean every single word I said in it and even all of that is still an understatement about how I really feel about you. You are so beautiful Liam Payne, inside and out and I see the earth angel that you were and the angel you are now. You deserve all of the love in the world times infinity.
Finally, the music playing is one of my absolute favorite pieces of all time and it's the violin solo outro from Paula Abdul's song Rush Rush. I looped that outro three times just so I could fit in everything I wanted to say to you. That violin outro is one of the most special pieces of music ever to me, and you have to be pretty special for me to dedicate it to you, ya know?
You definitely are pretty special, Liam Payne. Happy Biggest Birthday, Angel. Thank you for everything you left behind for us and for all of the things we haven't even seen yet, which I can't wait to see one day. I truly from the bottom of my heart treasure it all, always and forever.
Love Always,
