Texas Remembers Cooper’s Dad

Cooper Stone, 7, hugs his mother, Jenny Stone, as Texas Rangers owner Nolan Ryan, rear, watches in Arlington, Texas, Thursday during the dedication for a statue of Shannon Stone, the fan who died after falling out of the stands trying to catch a ball in 2011. The statue depicts Shannon with his son, Cooper, who he was with at the baseball game. (AP Photo/Sharon Ellman)

Question: I can't imagine what is going through 7YO Cooper Stone's mind at the moment he saw this statue, commemorating his father. Can you?
