Dear Diary,

Tonight was terrific. Eleven months after Pops died we awarded the first Walter Coupe Scholarships to three seniors from Mamaroneck High School. Clare, who has been the organizer and liaison to the district, did a great job explaining who dad was and why providing an opportunity for first generation college students was important to him. Coolest part? We get to do this 19 more times. Yup, our friends and family donated enough money to keep the scholarship going until 2037.

Another cool part? On a Wednesday in May, I was able to hang out with my siblings. We had pizza at Sals (would have gone to Walter’s for hot dogs but it was raining) before heading over to the festivities. We are all so different from one another - fiercely independent and opinionated but still we laugh - with each other and at ourselves. 

When I told people what we were doing tonight I got goosebumps and maybe a little teary. I am so proud to be Walter Coupe’s daughter, so proud to be a Coupe. We are far from perfect but still we try because while life is random, love is not.

LIFE IS RANDOM LOVE IS NOTTM
