COOPER JAMES NEMETH One year ago our hearts were torn apart; the unthinkable. Our lives were changed forever; the pain remains the same... we continue to struggle to try to make sense of this. Always and forever in our hearts and on our minds. A couple months back playing on the living room floor; C.R.: Where Coooper? Mom: Cooper's not here honey. Little arms go up questioningly - CR: Play hockeey? Long pause - Mom: Yes honey, Cooper's playing hockey now. A few more months before, driving in the car; Looking up skyward - KK: Mom, I'm going on the airplane next week, and it goes way way up high in the sky, right? Mom: Yes they do, so high you sometimes can hardly see them? Delighted - KK: So I'm going to get to see Cooper then! Pause - Mom: Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry, you won't see Cooper up there. Another Long Painful Pause: We can only see Cooper in our dreams and our memories, and feel him in our hearts now. We miss you every second, every minute, of every day. "God Bless You and Take Care of You." Love Mom, Dad, KK and Codes.
