Jacks and his classmates all wrote Thanksgiving letters to their parents about the things they are thankful for, and I just had to share his.
You never know how much kids remember or appreciate, but Jackson's list really surprised and moved me. The best part is knowing that he notices even the tiny little things we do every day as part of our "job"...how amazing to be thanked for that! ♥
So here it is, just as he wrote it:
Dear Mom and Dad,
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I would like to tell you about the things for which I am thankful. When you gave birth to me, I bet it hurt. When you took me to Chucky Cheese and Six Flags, that was fun! When you taught me how to play baseball and basketball. Thank you for giving me food, clothes and shelter. Thank for teaching me how to read, draw and write. Thank you for giving me brothers to play with. When you teach me the good way when I do something bad. Thanks for keeping me safe on my bike. Thanks for reading to me almost every night. I like to play baseball with you mom. And dad, I like to play basketball with you. When my lung colapsed, you stayed at the hospital and never left. When I had pink eye you gave me eye drops and whatever I wanted. I love all the toys you bought for me like legos and cars. I love you both up to the sky and down again. You are the best chefs in the world. You are number 1 and your the best. You are the best parents in the world. I hope you will be alive intill Im in college. Or older.
Love and cuddles,
Jackson
He also made an Acrostic poem with the word Thanksgiving.

I am so thankful for this amazing little man. He is growing up before our eyes, and he impresses us daily with his intelligence, sweetness and good heart. ♥
And I hope I'm alive until he's way past college. LOL

WOW! Jackson did a fantastic job with his writing. I loved reading it and I hope one day I will get something that wonderful from Laela. You guys must be doing something right with your sweet boys! :)
Oh! Just reading this makes my heart full to bursting! You're so lucky to have your big guy...and your other great guys. Allowing for his innate nature, it still takes parenting hearts like yours & Anthony's, full of love given selflessly; great role models; a zest for life; the ability to see the funny side & have fun...play & be there to give guidance. What a wonderful letter to his parents Jacks wrote!
You have such an incredible boy. His letter to you brought tears to my eyes.
