Celebrations are for Donnie Wahlberg, but you might want to bring tissues along with the balloons.

The Blue Bloods star celebrated his 52nd birthday on Tuesday, August 17, and in doing so, posted an iPhone video of his late mother, Alma, wishing him a happy birthday.

“Happy birthday, Donnie!” she smiled and chuckled into the camera. “It’s Mummy. Oh, I wished I was with ya on your birthday. I miss you. But I hope you have a wonderful birthday—you deserve it. I love you. Okay, baby.”

While it’s unclear where the video is from, fans can’t help but be emotional over her message, not to mention Donnie’s caption of the post.

“52 trips around the sun, with no rocket ship, and the ride gets sweeter,” he wrote. “If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s to start each day saying #ThankYou. Not a single moment is promised to me, but each one is appreciated. Today’s no different, I am #thankful. #Love each other.”

Since posting, the clip has been viewed over 46,000 times and garnered over 1,000 sentimental comments from fans and celebrities alike. “​​Happy birthday Donnie,” one fan wrote. “May Alma watch over you and the rest of the family. She was so proud of you. We are thankful for all that you do. Have a Blessed day.”

“What a gift that you have something like this!” another fan said. “Sorry, you’re feeling like a piece of you is missing this year for your birthday. It’s honestly the worst feeling. But just know how loved you are. Happy Birthday.”

His wife Jenny McCarthy wrote: “She is with you. Smiling. And telling you that you’re still her favorite.”

We hope Donnie had a wonderful birthday surrounded by his loved ones.
