Guess what? It is the former United States First Lady Michelle Obama‘s birthday today, January 18th and to celebrate, her husband, Barack Obama took to his social media to share a photo of two of them and pen her a sweet birthday message.

The former president’s message read:

“You’re not only my wife and the mother of my children, you’re my best friend. I love your strength, your grace, and your determination. And I love you more each day. Happy Birthday, @MichelleObama.”

It did not end there as Barack Obama went ahead to send flowers to her  office along with a sweet note.

Michelle, who posted a photo of the flowers on Instagram, wrote:

“Thank you @BarackObamafor the beautiful flowers waiting for me in the office this morning. You’re my best friend, biggest fan, and getting notes and flowers from you will never get old.

“And to the many people from around the country who sent cards and posted on social media, you have no idea how much we love hearing from you. I know birthdays can sometimes be bittersweet (54!), but your messages of hope, generosity, and warmth have always reminded me how lucky and blessed we are.”
