How Cooper Got His Middle Name...


My last time being with Chad was the week before the accident. Mothers day. We were at my parents eating hamburgers. We had one of the most special conversations ever that day. See the night before Chad and I were talking on the phone and talking about Cooper. Chad kept saying how his name was so awesome. Chad used the word awesome a lot. But I was talking to him saying that we needed a middle name. I said that we liked Bradley, and Chad said no, dont use that one. So anyways thats pretty much it for that talk that night on the phone. So the next day (Mothers Day), we were sitting by each other eating and Coopers name came up again. I said, yeah we still just need a middle name. And Chad said, well I was thinking about Davin. I said Gavin, he said "no", Davin with a D. Cooper Davin. I had never heard of that name before. And thats pretty much all we said about that. Well after Chads accident, I knew the baby would be named Cooper Davin. I love it and more than anything Chad gave him his middle name. I thank God for that special conversation we had. And John heard the whole thing too. Cooper will know his Uncle Chad.
