@globalmunchkins: There’s something no one really prepares you for as a parent… Celebrating your kids’ birthdays after they’ve moved out. 💔🎉 I packed up Owen’s 21st birthday box this week, watching clips of him living his best life at college… and all I could see was that little boy who used to run around our house in footsie pajamas 🥺 Birthdays feel different once they’re grown — a mix of pride, joy, and that tiny ache that comes from loving someone so much it hurts a little. If you’re in this season too, you get it. Save this for when you need the reminder that bittersweet doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong… it means you loved them well. 💛 And if you want some birthday traditions that helped keep our family close through every season (even this one), comment BIRTHDAY and I’ll send them your way. 🎂✨
