Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on May 22, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Betty! Another year wiser and still peacefully shaking things up—you're proof that Nobel laureates can have their cake and eat it too. Your tireless efforts in promoting peaceful resolutions during Northern Ireland's toughest times continue to inspire us all.

From rallying communities together to championing human rights worldwide, your legacy shines brighter each passing year. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought hope into the world—and may your candles be easier to extinguish than conflicts!

Here's wishing you laughter-filled days ahead; after all, peace begins with a smile (and maybe some cake).
