Happy 8th Birthday!


Dear Coop,
Another quick year has passed! You are now 8 years old and I can’t figure out where the time has gone.

The one thing I learned about you this year was how incredibly sensitive and intuitive you are to other people’s feeling. This last year we lost Grandpa I can’t tell you how many times I would look at you and see those big blue eyes full of concern staring back at me. You began to anticipate our tears and would hurry from the room to bring us tissues.

You were also very concerned with my pregnancy and asked me lots of questions. Mostly you confirmed your thoughts over and over to me how you knew baby Sydney would be just fine.

You got out of school early to come to the hospital when Syd was born. I was so nervous and scared before going into surgery and I will never forget how right before they Nurses came for me, we took one last picture….you, me, Grandma and your Mom. I remember you reached over and held my hand and squeezed it the whole time. It made me feel so much better and I was amazed that you knew that was what I needed in that moment.

You are so sweet to Syd and I know you love her. You are so gentle and always make sure to kiss her hello and goodbye. You have promised me you will always take good care of her and I know you will.

Coop, you are such a smart and out going boy. You make me smile and laugh. You make my heart proud.

I love you Coopey!

Love,
Auntie B
