January is always a busy birthday month in my family. Still within the holidays mode, two of my sons' birthdays are in the first few days of January. Then toward the middle of the month is my youngest son's birthday... 
I share here my baby's birthday cake. Yeah, he just turned 18 and I just cannot believe he's an adult now... 
When I started here 4 years ago, I sometimes talked about having four teenage boys. Now, I only have one left... 
Oh, I know I shouldn't be crying because this is just how life is and I should be grateful. I am happy and grateful to be blessed with four wonderful sons - I'm just crying happy tears, that's all...

Oh my goodness, I am freaking out because my youngest is eight ... I think that I will have a breakdown when she turns eighteen.

@sishy7 But if she is my last, then I won't have any more babies in the house, and THAT will make me feel horribly sad and alone.

@purplealabaster *DE looks at PA with a horror stricken look!*
What do you mean, PA? 
I am sure I read somewhere that you have several more children! Did you forget the ones you had with Val and Mario? 
How sad! You've forgotten the rest of your babies!

Happy birthday to your son. Being an adult means to be independent. I guess you are crying because you love them so much that you don't want them to be independent. but don't worry they love you too. they will take care of you as you did for them.

Thank you! Oh, I do want them to be independent. But I want them not having to face any problems if at all possible... 
I know that's impossible - everyone have their share of problems, of course... I have to let them learn to be on their own as surely I won't be here forever...
