Its the 'Her' of the Cooper couple.
I am so proud for him and thanks for your encouragement Gibbo. As you'd know, he was an orphan at 2, so they did the bare necessities to keep kids like this alive and that meant NO ENCOURAGEMENT EVER!!!
At about 9 or 10 a teacher went around the room asking kids what they wanted to be, when he got to Glen he shared his hope of becoming an archaeologist.
My darling was then laughed at and told, "Cooper, you'll be lucky to stack shelves in Woolies".
So now at 56, his life begins.
As I said, I am proud for him, not proud OF him, as I am always that, but to start now to do something he has wanted to do his whole life is just amazing!
I applaud my little battler and I know he will achieve this with flying colours as his heart is already there... and so is mine, right beside his, till the day of graduation.
And so may the degree of my future Dr. Cooper one day be firmly wedged sideways up the left nasal cavity of that rotten teacher so long ago!
Go my beautiful Glen, your future awaits!
Hugs, Jude xx
