Addressing her 18-year-old directly, the \"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days\" star added, \"You are the most incredible young man. Raising you has been one of the great gifts and pleasures of my life.

\"I am so excited for this next chapter,\" she continued. \"Way to go baby! Ma loves you!\"

Hudson ended her post with a message for her fellow parents whose children were marking this life milestone: \"Letting your babies fly ain't easy but fly kiddos fly!\"
