So many views, and no help yet

Is this forum still used?
What I have managed to get so far looks like this:
для мой дорогой друг Максим.
Because you are, and continue to be, the most real man I know.
С Рождеством!
С любовью
Дженифер
It's that middle line that is getting me, because I know that no matter how I put it, if I do a direct translation of the words it is NOT going to come out saying what I want it to say....
