A birthday song about your wife and her year
A birthday song for your wife is a chance to talk about her for once. She spent this year doing a lot for other people. Somewhere in there she fought for a promotion and started something just for herself. A song made from her year tells her you were watching the whole time, with admiration, and she won't see it coming.

What to put in a birthday song for your wife
Every service asks for the story differently. Whatever form you get, these are the details that make it sound like them and not like a greeting card.
In May she became principal at the middle school and still eats lunch in the cafeteria.
She joined a Thursday night choir and rehearses her alto part in the car all week.
Every Sunday she drove two hours to her mom's after the hip surgery and still made Monday's staff meeting.
This year she taught Noah to ride a bike on the cul-de-sac, running beside him in her work shoes.
Saturday mornings she's at the market by seven and comes home with too many peaches.
She's surer of herself this year, and she laughs louder than she did five years ago.
When to order a birthday song
List what her year held, and ask her sister for one story you might have missed.
Pick a service from the picks above and send the story, with the kind of music she sings along to in the car.
Listen alone. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, where a line doesn't sound like her.
Play it with coffee in bed before anyone else is up, so the first thing she hears that day is about her.
Questions
What if her year was hard?
Write about how she handled it. A song can honor a tough year, like caring for a parent or a job that wore her down, without dwelling on the details. Name her strength and one good thing that came out of it. She'll feel seen.
My wife says she doesn't want a fuss. Will she like a song?
Probably, because a song is quiet. There's no party to plan and nothing to unwrap in front of people. Play it for her alone over coffee. When someone says no fuss, they usually mean no performance, and a private song fits that well.
Can our kids add to it?
Yes. Ask each child for one thing Mom did this year that they'll always remember, in their own words. Even a five-year-old's line, like “she ran next to my bike the whole time,” can end up the best part of the song.
Should I mention her age in the song?
Only if she jokes about it herself. Most people would rather hear about the year than the number. If it's a round one she's proud of, mention it once, lightly, and spend the rest of the song on what she did with the year.
Find the one that sounds like them.
Pick a service and jot down three of the details above. That's enough to start.
