Tomorrow, My Baby Will Be All Grown Up.

It's a bittersweet moment, isn't it? He'll always be your baby and, more importantly, he'll always need his mom.

Congratulations, Twisterdog! You made it and so did he! My only child turned 18 in January and graduated from high school last week. And it is bittersweet for sure. But I'm happy for her to move on to the next phase of her life. I imagine I will be a mess when she leaves for college in a couple of months.

Congratulations to both of you, you on your accomplishment and your child for surviving the experience. Happy birthday to your boy!

We reached this milestone in March with our oldest. She graduated last week, one down, one to go!

Congratulations!

My "baby" will be 40 next week. And for those that think when they reach 18 or 21 and are grown, and now you don't have to worry about them anymore - well it just doesn't happen that way. They just have bigger issues for you to worry over. Not saying that you have to intervene and try to solve them for them, but you still worry about them.

Oh, the joys of motherhood.

Oh yes! My mom is 85 and she still worries about all 5 of us. The oldest is 60, followed by 58, 53, 50 and me ... the baby ... 48.

Don't be too sad, just think how you have got him through this far, he is now an adult, be proud,but i can understand my baby will be 17 soon,but i have my son who is 28 this year, and i look at him and what he has achieved in life and I am proud, and it feels good, you won't ever stop worrying about him or caring, motherhood is forever.

Your job is far from over,there will be a new phase in your life when he marry's and has children, it never stops, neither does the worrying though, but all part and parcel of being a Mum/mom. HUGS though, been there ,done that, know how you are feeling,my second time is coming around soon too, and it will be hard to let go.

And do wish him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY from us all here on PT.
