• Happy 20th birthday. Thank you for all the memories. I will always be there for you no matter what. You’ve been my rock, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Keep your head up, love; the world is yours.

• For 20 years now, I have loved you, and this love will only grow stronger as time goes on. Thank you for the smile that brightens my day and the laugh that warms my heart. You are an amazing son, brother, person, and friend, and you mean everything to me!

• Dear son, I’ve told you before that I love you and I will keep saying it until the end of the day. No matter what happens, we will always be there for each other.

• You are a fine young man, and I am proud of you. I have watched you grow into a kind, caring, generous and responsible man. I couldn’t have asked for a better son. I love you with all my heart!

• I’m so proud to call you my son; I hope you are always happy as I raise you. I love and miss you more than any words could ever express. Remember to be respectful of others, treat people the way you want to be treated, and above all, have a heart full of gratitude.

• You are a great young man who has turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. You are never afraid to lend a helping hand and see the good in everyone. The world needs more people like you, and when you fall in love with someone, I know they will be fortunate.

• It’s your birthday, and I just have to tell you. I am so proud of the man you have become. You are a fantastic person that deserves all the love in the world. I just hope that you know how much I love you!

• There are so many words I want to say, yet none that can put into perspective how proud I am of you. Looking back at all your accomplishments, I am pleased that my legacy lives on through you. You have become the man everyone expected you to be, and you have my heart and always will be in my prayers.

• I wanted to write a letter to my son on his 20th birthday. I have many things to say, but I don’t know if they could get into your heart. Fortunately, we have met each other, which means I don’t need to say anything; you know that I love you.

• Happy 20th birthday, Son! I hope you have the best day of your life today. You deserve it for all the hard work you’ve been putting in. Thanks for sharing your life with me and making every day a better one.

• This is a personal letter for my son, for your eyes only! You are a strong and passionate man. I am so happy we had you in our lives and were born. You bring so much positivity and happiness to the family.

• I know how hard you fought for your country. I know how badly you wanted to come home to your sister and me. I am glad you are my son, and I love you more than life itself.

• Hello, my son! I wanted to tell you how proud I am of the man you have become. You are now an adult with a big responsibility, a big heart, and all the possibilities in the world. May God be with you and guide you through your years, and may He bless your life!

• Hey guy, here’s a little something for you on your special day. I just want you to know how proud I am of you and all the hard work you put in. You broke my heart with that tattoo, but it was so worth it to see you finally do something for yourself. Happy Birthday!

• Today you are 20 years old, and this is the beginning of your adventure life. I am so proud of you. You are a strong, compassionate, and caring man, and those are the qualities your father and I raised you to be. You’re a good guy with a good heart and soul. We love you very much!

• Dear Son, I love you so very much. I’ve always wanted you to have a long life filled with nothing but joy and happiness. It’s my prayer that one day you will have children and grandchildren of your own. They will be especially loved because they are your bloodline. I believe in you, and your future is bright!

• I’m so thrilled you’re here now. I love you so much more than I could ever put into words.
