Made me Cry!

Last night we were at my parent's house celebrating a late Thanksgiving.  At dinner, Jacob remarked that he got many of his "tastes" from his family.  He then listed some examples - coffee ice cream from great-grandma,  chocolate milk from grandpa and sports from dad.  I asked what he got from me and then Benny chimed in and said "kindness."  I started crying.  What a sweet thing for that kid to say.  And unexpected too given the rough and tumble nature of Ben!  Then Jacob, not wanting to be outdone by his brother, said that I gave him "a positive attitude".  Wow - so much to be thankful for!
