Sophia Bush is getting some birthday peace of mind.
For the One Tree Hill alum’s 42nd birthday July 8, she received a heartfelt tribute from girlfriend Ashlyn Harris, who shared exactly what she appreciates most about Sophia.
“You are such a gift in this world,” Ashlyn wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos of the two. “To see you shine and happy fills us all up. I love your heart Soph… I love everything about you. Happy born day baby.”
And for Sophia, this birthday was especially important. As she wrote in the comment section, it marked the year that she found love with Ashlyn and also found more of herself.
“Last year I got free,” the Chicago P.D. star wrote. “This year I found the very best love in the very most unexpected place.”
“I may never get over the gift of it,” she continued. “Thank you for putting me back together. For making my second birthday even better than my first. And for reminding me what the sound of my unbridled laughter sounds like. You are magic. You are my best present.”
