This is my son Jacob. We affectionately call him Jay. I want to take a second here to tell you why I’m grateful for him and why he is my hero. He will probably be mortified when he reads this, but I also think that deep down he will appreciate it 
I’m grateful to him because he gave me the gift of being his mom, because during some of my toughest and darkest times in my life he brought me so much love, joy, hope and strength to keep going. It is because of him that I wanted to do better, to chase after my dreams so that he can see that when you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. Now that he is grown, he amazes me with his own determination, strength and resilience. One of the best things that I love about this guy is that he is who he is, who you see is what you get. He is kind hearted, loves his family, hard worker, and is tackling this whole ‘adulting’ thing like a pro. I am grateful to call him my son.
Who are you grateful for? Post your hero and your reason why you’re grateful.
