And just like that…he's 19!
Sarah Jessica Parker celebrated a "bittersweet milestone, on Thursday, Oct 28, sharing a beautiful birthday tribute to her and Matthew Broderick's son, James Wilkie Broderick, online.
"He is 19. Today. He doesn't wake with us. He is in his life. Away. In his studies. Among new friends. Sending home details. There is so much to tell," she wrote of the college student. "New adults making lasting impressions. Opening his still young eyes. New thoughts. New books. New and different mornings."
"On this one it's bittersweet," the Sex and the City star admitted. "Not to be with him. To wish him the most happiest of birthdays. Our Scorpio. Our Oct. baby. Our JW. Happy Birthday. Balloons. Candles. Hoping every birthday wish to come true. Xxx, Mama."
We're not crying…
James, who was raised in NYC, is celebrating his birthday in Rhode Island this year after recently starting classes at Brown University.
And although she likes to keep her kids out of the spotlight, SJP made an exception for James' birthday this year by sharing a snap on her Instagram. In September, also shared a pic of James and his 12-year-old sisters, Tabitha and Marion, as they ventured off to their respective schools.
"In the span of 7 days," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "one crosses the threshold into his freshman year of college. The other 2 into 7th grade."
"The house is different. They need us more. And far less. So many know. Gutted at the time passed. Passing. Exhilarated by the possibilities that await them. The love. The love. The love. X, SJP."
