Congratulations And Celebrations

Today is Daniel's 18th birthday.

I don't know where the last 18 years have gone. It doesn't seem two minutes since he was a bouncing baby.


This year, he's due to head off to university to study Physics with Astrophysics. I'm having sleepless nights already.


We're going out for a meal tonight, and then we're having a small party on Saturday, to which Daniel's friends, and close family and family friends are invited to help us celebrate.

We're so proud of Daniel, he's grown to be a sensitive, mature (sometimes) and caring young man. He's got fantastic opportunities ahead of him so I hope he grabs them with both hands.

Happy birthday Daniel. xxx

  1. Happy Birthday Daniel!

    It's a big milestone, and one which all of mine have passed now ... typing that makes me feel so old.

  4. Happy birthday to Daniel!

    I know exactly what you mean about the years passing so fast. My daughter is 20, working (she didn't take up her place at university) learning to drive, and it's during her first drive in my car that it hit me that she is a young woman now, an adult. Not a little girl anymore although she will always be my little girl!

    What's important though is the happy memories of her life with me. We had such great times together and we have a wonderful relationship now.

    I'm sure it's the same for you and your son!

  5. Happy Birthday Daniel. Enjoy him while you can. Once he's at uni they grow up even quicker and become so independant they don't need us mums so much x

  6. Happy Birthday! That makes 4 people I know (or sort of) born today, including my youngest! She's 11 so I have a few more years to go before University and all grown up hits me. Have a good day!
