Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on June 22, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Laila Freivalds! From steering Sweden's justice system with grace and determination from 1994 to 2000, to your brief yet memorable stint as Deputy Prime Minister in 2004—your political journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Who else can claim they've mastered the art of leadership so efficiently that one month was all it took?

Today we celebrate not just your impressive career but also your timeless ability to inspire smiles along the way. May this birthday bring you joy, laughter, and perhaps a cake big enough for every year you've dedicated to public service—but who's counting? Cheers!
