Isn't It Ironic

Every Saturday Joseph Cooper went to his son's graveside after work. His son had died in 1996 of pneumonia and Cooper, heartsick would visit his son's graveside on these weekly visits and pray or tell him about his day.

This past Saturday, Joseph Cooper went to his son's graveside like he did every week. He may not have realized that the thunderstorm was as close as it was. Family members have stated he would have gone anyway.

Saturday, Joseph Cooper was killed by lightning as he visited his son's graveside. Lightning struck the tree that was beside his son's grave, traveled down it and into Cooper.

He will be buried next Saturday beside his beloved son, under that tree.
