Hey there, bruh.
It feels like just yesterday you were a tiny bundle of joy, and now you’re this towering man-child who keeps raiding my fridge. Where did the time go? How are you 18 already? If I had my way, you’d stay my little boy forever – or at least until you learn to do laundry without turning everything pink.
We’ve come a long way, from the “Love You Forever” book to you explaining why my music taste is “trash.” (For the record, the 90s were awesome, and they’re coming back.)
I may not always understand your choices, but I’ll always support you. Remember that time you decided to “paint” the cream-colored carpet with red nail polish? Or when you thought Vaseline was a good hair product? Even in those crazy moments, my love never wavered. It just evolved to include a newfound appreciation for cleaning supplies.
You’re the first best thing that ever happened to me. Sure, finding that $100 bill was nice, but you’re like hitting the emotional jackpot every day. You gave my life a purpose I never knew I needed. Every achievement, every heartbreak, every weird phase – I’ve been there, cheering you on, holding you up, and occasionally facepalming. But always, always loving you.
Above all, you’ve grown into an incredible person who’s kind, gentle, and loyal. Your ability to care for others and your unwavering loyalty to your friends and family never ceases to amaze me. Some people might not get you, but you know what, F’ them. Keep being the amazing person you are.
As you step into this new phase of life, remember that I’ll always be here—your biggest fan, your unwavering support, and the one person who’ll never stop believing in your endless potential.
Life will throw its share of challenges your way, but I know you have the strength, heart, and resilience to face them head-on. Keep pushing forward, take risks, be brave, and never lose that unique spark that makes you, you. You’ve got this; I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll accomplish.
Here’s to you. May your adulthood be as amazing as you are.
Love you to infinity & beyond,
Your proud, emotional, and only slightly teary-eyed Mom
P.S. Being 18 doesn’t get you out of chores. Nice try, though!
