Thank you Speech for Birthday – 3

 "Good Evening Everyone!

Let me start by thanking each one of you for your presence on this evening. As you all know, I have turned 50 today and wanted to celebrate this day not because I am keen on celebrating birthdays, it’s because I wanted to take this as an opportunity to thank all those people who are precious for me and have made a great impact on my life.

Thank you my sweet little daughter for organising such a grand event for my birthday. I am really mesmerised.

Growing old is also fun, especially when it comes with a lot of ordeal, experiences and learning. My life story is one of those; well, I am not here to turn you guys off by sharing the story of my life. I just want to thank all those people who have stood by my side in my days of sufferings.

Then, to my wife I want to say a lot of things – how patiently you have handled me when I was at the verge of destroying my own life, career and family. I still remember when you said that no matter how unbearable I would be, you would always support me. I have never expressed my gratitude enough towards your caring actions and gestures. But today I want to say it loud and clear that I am indeed very fortunate to have a life partner like you.

Mr. A is my best friend, you all know that. But you guys probably don’t know that he has been my counsellor and advisor too. He is the only person, who I can still knock at 12 in the night for even stupidest of the reasons and I am sure, he will come running to me. My dear friend, it’s hard to find a gem like you and I am so glad that God chose me to treasure this gem. Thank you!

My life had been funny because I was never serious about anything, neither about my family, my career, my friends nor myself. But the company that I am working with was the last company that I stuck to and will work till they retire me themselves. That’s only because of Mr. X, my boss. Senior to me in age by 10 years, he is not only my boss, but also the best friend and a big brother to me. Sir, I have said ‘Sorry’ to you on several occasions for my mistakes, but today, I sincerely want to thank you for making me realise that I could do much better than I thought I could. You have not only helped me in settling down at work but your faith in me also gave a better direction to me for handling my personal life. Thank You!

I also want to thank all my colleagues for listening to me patiently and pretending to cherish my stories during our lunch time and coffee break. Jokes apart; thank you guys for your company.

Once again, thank you everyone for being a part of our celebration and for all your wishes and gifts. Despite, it’s being my Birthday, I am not feeling old, in fact, I am feeling more energised all because of you guys. Please enjoy and have fun.

Thank you!
