I&#8217;m so thankful for the child who I see is struggling to become a man.<\/li>\n<li>My 2nd son &#8211; J2 (14). He has always been my calm child. The past few years have been a struggle for him as well.\u00c2\u00a0 He is realizing what his learning disabilities mean to life and struggling with that fact. He is a great worker and a quiet strength that will serve him well!<\/li>\n<li>My 3rd son &#8211; J3(almost 10). He is the lover.

I can&#8217;t be thankful for his death, but I will always be thankful for the time we had him.<\/li>\n<li>My daughter &#8211; Sissy (3). I am thankful for the pink, for the dolls all over the house, for the cuddles and the &#8220;wub you, Mommy&#8221;! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I could go on an on &#8211; truly!
