Last night at work, my client/friend Mazie was telling me that she got a deal on her braces and they are only $2300 dollars.  Then a few minutes later the girl I work with was balancing the register and it was off by $103 , I told her to check my last client because her total ended in $3, so she checked and of course I made a mistake and then she said to me,  now we are off by $23 dollars.  I said $23 dollars? and she said yup and when I walked over and looked at the computer screen it said  :  Visa  $10    under
                                               Cash  $23    over
I said that's Alec sign , the #23, and that's his birthday   10 / 23  , I felt Al so strong and when I left and it sank in, I was even more in awe that he used Mazie (because he loves his Maisy Mouse and his cat is Maisy) to say $2300.

And this morning on tv , the temp was displayed, it is 23 degrees and a minute later they show a scarf  that is on sale for $23 dollars.


Cassidy told us last week that they showed a Giraffe in her class on a screen, a day she needed it most.
And in one of her classes, she got a paper discussing theories on how Giraffes got long necks, it was a full page on Giraffes!

Keith always gets so many signs from Al all the time, and especially when he needs them most.
 
And he is always sharing with us how a stranger is extra nice to him, like when he stopped to let an elderly woman out of a street and she waved to him with a big smile the whole way she pulled out and drove away, this happens to him all the time to him

Yesterday when I woke, I turned on my kindle for a meditation that I signed up for through Oprah, it sends a new meditation for 21 days.  There is an image of nature, usually a waterfall, trees  etc. for each day.
Well this one I opened had an image of a Mama and Baby Giraffe snuggling. That's my sweet boy.
The other day, Cassidy was watching a show, I was folding laundry, so I wasn't watching it. But I heard a boy go up to a girl with a bucket of gummy fruits in animal shapes and ask her which one was her favorite and she said, they all taste the same right? And he said but which animal would be your favorite...I knew she was going to say Giraffe,  and then she said, " I guess the Giraffe".  I said to Cass I knew she was going to say a Giraffe, did you?  Cass said she didn't even think of it until she said it.  Alec always works his Magic. Here I am not watching this show, but I heard what I needed to hear.

We received a note and an email from Martha and one of Al's favorite nurses at the Jimmy Fund. They wanted us to know just how much it means to all of them that we sent in gifts for all of the children as they too want so much to make their patients happy and see them smile. They all talked about Alec, sharing him with others who never met him. And they shared all of their stories about Alec, the silly ones and the sweet ones. They shared what a special day Alec's Birthday was at the clinic and that Alec's Love was all around.
This made us feel so good, we know no one that knew Alec would or could ever forget him, and it brings us such comfort and love to know they were all honoring Alec by talking about him and how special he is to them, laughing about things he did or said, and loving him now just as always as the sweet beautiful boy that he is.
