Looking through his personal belongings has provided some emotional moments, with some tears—and even some moments of light-heartedness—she told The Daily Beast.“Cooper never liked peanut butter. They found a packet of peanut butter in his backpack,” Willow Andrews said. “I just laughed and started crying my eyes out that Cooper had peanut butter, which I understand—protein and everything—but I’m like, oh, Cooper had peanut butter.
As anyone who has lost a loved one will understand, his mother is hoping to bring his other clothes home to smell him and remember him by.He wanted to help the people—not fight in a war, but help the people and do his part any way he could.Americans have been jumping into Ukraine to try to help Ukrainian fighters defend their territory against Russian takeover since the beginning of the war.
“We would have conversations like, ‘did you see what happened to the kids? Can you believe, this is what’s happening to the kids?’” Willow said. “He was really disturbed what was happening to the children in Ukraine especially.”His desire to jump in the fray in Ukraine reflects the same sense of urgency he applied to his work as a Marine and in volunteering throughout his life. He joined the Marines because he wanted to be involved in humanitarian relief efforts, Andrews said.
