Al turns my tears to laughter

The other night at work, one of the girls I work with  who is so sweet was talking to me and she asked me a question, but  she didn't know the answer had alot to do with Alec, so as I answered her and talked about Alec and my eyes filled up and my voice cracked, she so sweetly asked if I wanted her to hug me , I told her I was ok. Then she knew to lighten the conversation and asked about Cassidy and somehow I asked her if she knew the book, "Oh David", and she laughed and said YES  I love that book. I couldn't believe she knew this book (she is 21). I told her Alec loved this book and she said  ME TOO, she said that she bought it at a book fair at school when she was little and her Mom was like why did you buy this silly book. It's a book about this boy who is always getting into trouble, it's short with just a few words on each page.  Then she said, I Loved the part when he went to school and forgot his pants  I cracked up every time, I said Alec loved that part too..he would smile and laugh every time too.  
I truly felt Alec turned my tears into laughter.. he took a very sad and difficult moment for me and replaced it with such a funny sweet memory  all through a very sweet girl.  I could hear his words , "Don't be sad Mama, I have something to make you happy".


And last night at work, my client pulled out a brochure of an Inn she visited to show me and the first thing I saw was that it had 23 guest rooms.
Plus last week at work, my client just kept saying "23 years", she had her job for 23 years, over and over again, she must have said 23 at least 8 times, and as I left work the license plate on the truck in front of me was  "23 X",  I just figured out the other day that the X was a Kiss from Al,  sorry Al sometimes it takes Mama a little while to figure things out..I love you Bubs  XOXO
