Photos: Bella Hadid's birthday message to sister Gigi Hadid is so beautiful

Model Gigi Hadid turned 23 and her sister Bella Hadid, also a model, wrote a lengthy birthday tribute that was obviously sincere and from the heart.

Bella shared photos of both of them through the years, from when they were kids to their adult years to celebrate Gigi's 23rd birthday.

The caption reads:

23 years ago the world was blessed with a little angel. Best friends since the moment you held me in the delivery room!
You’ve been waiting for this day for your whole life...23!!!! Golden ! Just like u!

At least once a day, I think and wonder how I got so lucky to have you as a sister. To have someone to teach me as I grow, to love me as I am, and to be together for every step of the way. I look at photos and watch videos of us growing up, and it just makes me smile/ ? because I know that I’d never be able to do this life without you. Nothing would be the same !!!!

You are my comfort blanket, my idol, my confidant, my built in best friend, and, of course, the best gift @yolanda.hadid and @mohamedhadid have ever given me... You too cheeto @anwarhadid ??

I am so proud of the woman you are, the ideas you have, the strength you have built, and the love you radiate.

Thank you for being YOU!!! When you are truly you, no one can stop you!!!!! I love you more than you’ll ever know ! There is no one I would rather spend this life with.

My Forever muse and bfff(and ever and ever and ever) My sissy pantelones, The ONE!!!! I love you. @gigihadid
