I realize that trust is the most fragile piece of any relationship and is a lot harder to repair than to build in the first place. Please try?
Whether it was a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand, your actions have made a significant impact on my life. Thank you.
All that aside, what impresses me the most about you is the person of character and integrity you have become. I am very proud to be your parent.
If I could give you whatever I like for your birthday, I would give you 10 times the joy you have brought to my life.
