Our sweet and very dear friend Andrea and her husband Jay have ordered Alec wristbands to sell to raise money to help cover costs if we have any for the walk-a-thon we plan to have next year and for the rest to go into an Alec Bulmer Foundation which we will be starting in a few months.
Andrea had come over a week or so ago, she has kept in touch with me via e-mail, checking on us and sending us her love and prayers and words to encourage and comfort us. I was finally ready to see her and I'm so glad I did. Lots of tears were shed by both of us, I felt such comfort with her.
When I told Keith that Andrea was coming over he asked me what her daughter's name is, I said Giovanna and I knew he was remembering "The Fishies". When we were at church at St Theresa's and Andrea and Giovanna would be near us and she was eating Fishies and Alec noticed and asked for some and then some more and so Alec associated Giovanna with Fishies and every time he'd see her he'd asked for fishies, he LOVED his snacks.
So after our very special time together, Andrea sent me an email a few days later letting me know she had ordered Alec wristbands to sell. She was worried we'd be upset that she did it without checking with us, but I felt the Love that came from her doing this and it just meant so much. Keith and I had talked about doing wristbands and I had designed lots of them online but just have not had the motivation to order them. So this was a welcome beautiful gift because I know Andrea did it out of Love and she really wanted to help make my walk -a -thon idea a reality and knew by selling these it was a start.
I believe Alec encouraged her and helped her make them because she put a Cross on them. I could not put a cross on the ones I was designing because my faith is still so shattered though I do feel it coming back a bit. But I know Alec would want a cross on there because when we designed his souvenier ring at Hershey Park, he wanted it to say "Jesus Loves Me" with a Cross. His message came through loud and clear to keep our faith with these wristbands.
You can contact Andrea if you would like a wristband, they are $5- each. She has reg. size and youth size. And although I argued with Andrea about letting us buy them or her taking the money back that she spent for them and putting the profits into the foundation, she refused and told me that this was a gift from her and Jay to us. Which means that 100% of the $5- will go into Alec's Foundation. Thank you so much Andrea and Jay, we are so grateful for this beautiful gift and for your Love and generosity.
