My youngest nephew Cooper turned four today and I wanted to wish him a very, very happy birthday. Unfortunately because I have a gig to do I can’t be there with him so I hope that this little dedication to him will be the next best thing.

I have two nephews named Kye and Cooper and it’s amazing watching them both growing up, to see the differences in the two.

Kye, being the first born I suppose, is a very careful individual who takes risks but is very calculated with it whereas Cooper has no fear whatsoever, it’s all or nothing with him and he certainly lets you know about it.

Another major difference is that Kye is very diplomatic and sensitive whereas Cooper is about as tactful as a punch in the face, something which I’ve experienced first hand with him but that’s another story.

Both of my nephews have different ways of expressing themselves and getting the most out of life but what I love most about Cooper is his strength of character and his stubborn and persistent determination to get things done.

He just doesn’t give up and he isn’t afraid of the consequences of not giving up. Admirable qualities in my book.

I’ve learnt a lot from both of them and it’s times like these such as a birthday that you stop and realise how precious a young life is.

Happy Birthday Cooper.

Peace,

(Uncle) Corey
