“I saw the way you loved him, so I’m choosing to believe that you would be happy for us. I choose to look at the stars and know you’re smiling down at us, rooting for us.” I sit back on my knees, my jeans completely soaked and my teeth chattering. “You’d be so proud of him, Coop. He’s strong, and he’s brave, and he’s funny, and he has the biggest heart.” I’m crying, but my lips tip up at the same time. “He’s perfect and I’m going to love him the way he should be loved. I’ll love him for both of us and I’ll never let him feel alone.”
