Nouns in Apposition Grammar

Q. Ko Ko is very kind to me. He is my cousin. He is also my ideal.

(A) Ko Ko, my cousin and my ideal, is very kind to me.

(B) Ko Ko, my cousin and ideal, is very kind to me.

I'd like to know which one is correct. (A), (B) or both. Thanks a million.

They are both grammatically okay and there's really little to chose between them. Personally I prefer (A) since the addition of "my" makes it clear that "ideal" is a noun here, not an adjective.
