Happy Birthday Coop

Tony and Eliza spent a nice weekend in La Grande to celebrate Coop's birthday.  They saw a movie and spend a fun day at the skinny hill.  This has been a significant year for Coop.  He had a life altering accident, started college, flunked a couple of classes, started and quit track, broke up with his girlfriend, left Mormonism, and reunited with his birth Mom.  Most significantly he has done some important relationship repairing and introspection.

Dear Coop,
Happy birthday son.  You are a good man and you have brought Dad and I unspeakable joy.  As you continue to mature your natural empathy and gift of compassion become more evident.  It is always a pleasure to have you come home for a weekend, because you make time for each member of the family.  It was really sweet of you to bring us all EOU attire, since we know your love language is gifts.  You have made some whopper mistakes, but more importantly, you are learning from your mistakes and trying again.  We love you with all our hearts and can't wait to see what life has in store for you.
