Gratitude Journal Entry for Kirby

My assignment for my class this week is to record gratitude daily.  I am supposed to write in a gratitude journal every day.  When I got the assignment, I immediately decided that I would express gratitude to one person every day. So, this is my first day.  Since Kirby is the first person in my life, and the one I am most bound to eternally, I will start with him.

Why I am grateful for Kirby:
