Anderson Cooper was able to tell his late mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, about his plans to be a dad

This aired a few days ago but I just came across it.

New daddy Anderson Cooper appeared on Live with Kelly & Ryan and said some of the same stuff he said to Stephen Colbert the other night. But what makes this little chat really cool is the Kelly Ripa and Cooper are the best of friends and it was really moving when Kelly immediately thought of Gloria Vanderbilt when the baby was born. Cooper was able to tell his mother before she died last year than he was planning to become a parent.
