The Hero’s Journey Step 1: We Meet Our Hero

Please Allow Me To Introduce MySelf…

I’m pleased to meet you, and I hope you guessed my name…anywho, it’s Kelly Coop.

I‘m your average, down-to-earth, 47-year-old wife and mother from a small town in Kentucky. My awesome and talented husband, Mr. Coop, and I have been together for 27 years, almost all of them happy

We’re proud parents of two amazing young adults. Our daughter Hailey is 25, beautiful, both inside & out, and happily married to her fabulous husband, Tyler. They’re trying to start a family of their own. Our Gen Z’er Ridley just turned 18. Handsome, witty and too-smart-for-his-own-good, he’s starting to figure out his own journey. Now, we are empty-nesters before the age of 50! We’ve had a great life with priceless memories, lots of love, and plenty of bumps, bruises and learning lessons along the way. Your average family, living the average life, until a day in 2017 that would change the course of our lives forever.

Until that day, most people would’ve thought I was living the American Dream. A perfect family, steady job, amazing Disney vacations, a newly-purchased home in an ideal neighborhood, two Vdubs, adorable cats. But what people couldn’t see from the outside…is that I was dying on the inside.
