Eighteen, son. I'm going to tell you the truth, because you're old enough and we've both earned it: adulthood is mostly just making decisions before you feel ready and figuring it out on the way. You will be fine. Probably. The key word is 'mostly.' Go be brave, call home, and remember that Googling something is not the same as knowing it. Happy 18th.

Twenty-one, son. The state has officially decided you're a full adult. I have more information on this subject than the state does, but I'll let them have this one. Go celebrate. Stay hydrated. Make good decisions , or at minimum, moderately defensible ones. We love you. Happy 21st.

Happy 50th, Mom. Five decades. You've survived bad haircuts, questionable decisions, and one very specific child who shall remain nameless but whose name rhymes with mine. The fact that you're still standing , smiling, even , is nothing short of a miracle of human endurance. We see you. We're in awe. We love you.

Forty, Dad , and you wear it like everything else, quietly and well. May this year give back even a fraction of what you give the rest of us. Happy 40th.

Happy birthday, Dad. Still somehow smarter than anyone in the room who's trying harder. It's your most annoying quality. Also probably your best.

Happy birthday, Uncle. You've been the steady, funny, slightly-mischievous heart of every family gathering. May this year give back a fraction of what you give us.

Happy birthday, Grandpa. You have figured out exactly which family events require your full attention and which ones require your best nap. That's mastery of the social form.

Happy birthday, my girl. You are the bravest thing my life has ever produced. Today, just remember that everywhere you go, you are also someone's whole sky.
