Local mom and Air Force vet, Kathy Jaafar uses her military experience to teach her sib how to forge his own path with her mantra: Adapt and overcome.
“I wanted my son to embrace the positivity of it more so than anything, but then as I wanted to lead by example as well, so I added that ‘forge your own path,'” she says. “I wanted my son to know, see, believe that whatever he puts his mind to, he can do.”
