Birthday Love

10/13/2012

3 Comments

 
My birthday was yesterday and Cassidy started it with giving me the sweetest gift she made for me, an origami box in Giraffe print  and inside a necklace that she made me. I love it, and especially the hugs and kisses that came with it, I love my girl. 
So we did not win the Taylor swift contest, thank you to all who called for us. But I did get something so much better.  I had the radio on country 102.5 all day. I was feeling sad missing Alec, needing to feel him today, so I went in my room (which was really mine and Alec's room), and I was talking to him and I asked him to please give me a sign that he is with me today. I walked into the kitchen and within  seconds he gave me his love/sign. The song that was coming on as I walked in the kitchen was mine and Alec's song -"Forever and for Always" by Shania Twain. This  was our special song together, that we danced to around the kitchen as I sang it to him.  And that Alec would sing along to in the car and Al would ask me to sing it to him, we just loved our special song.  Al played that song for me, it was the best gift he could give me, I was amazed at my beautiful boy. It was just what I needed to get through the day.
Next comes over INNicole with 23 roses for me, she amazes me, she knows just what would bring me comfort and love.  Onward me and Nicole picked up B-Girl and thought we were getting coffee and B-girl took me out of my comfort zone and brought us into a restaurant. I was ok and I was able to enjoy the company of 2 very special girls in my life. Later my Mom in law stopped by and brought a hand written recipe from my Nana /Great Nana down the beach. Cassidy had been asking her for a fudge recipe and this is the one she had, and she decided to bring it over today. Plus she and my father in law made a donation to Dr.Kieran for me, which they know means so much to me.  Throughout the day lots of donations were coming in, and my neighbor, Jean had brought over 2 blankets that she made with Giraffes on them.  I could feel the love from Al and everyone.
Then I get a phone call from  Alec's baseball buddy's and another special girlfriend, Alexis's Mom.  Her Mom ,Donna, called to check in on me, she said she had been thinking of me all the time and been meaning to call for a while  and that she just had to call today. She said she could not send an e-mail , she just needed to call. She offered me words of encouragement and inspiration in ways that I desperately needed.  I told her that she has no idea how much it means to me that she called and I told her it was my birthday, a hard day and the last time we saw her by chance was on the day Alec went to Heaven last year a really hard day, and she talked to us and inspired us then with how much Alec is with her and inspires her and Alexis and just shared Alec's love with us. Both of these talks with her felt like she was sent to us by Alec and he was speaking through her. We talked for an hour and right before we hung up she told me to release a balloon to Alec, I thought I don't have a balloon.  A minute after we hung up the doorbell rang, it was a fruit basket sent over from my Mom and on it was 1 balloon.  Cassidy sent it up to Alec with kisses and hugs from us. 
Then Keith comes home with beautiful flowers for me. He said he picked out 3 bunches of flowers himself and  the florist rearranged them into one bouquet. He joked that INNicole out did him with 23 roses.  He said he looked around the florist for a Giraffe but there wern't any. Then he figured the flowers would cost $23.00, but they didn't. Then he thought there would be a #23 on the receipt, but there was not. As he told me and Cass this, he was sad for me because he really wanted it to be a gift from Al but he had no definate sign. Then Cass said ,"let me count the flowers and see if there are 23", so she counted them and got 22. Awww . Then she said "Let me count one more time", and she counted and got 23 this time. We all lit up, really 23 flowers and they were all flowers except one stem which was a stem with just leaves on it. This is the one that made it 23.  Keith said I never would have thought to count them but luckily Cassidy did.  I later had to count them for myself and yup there were 22 flowers and 1 stem of leaves-- 23 in all. The leaves a truly special touch from Al.  Oh Al, you are the best, you are amazing. 


Thank you all for the Birthday love sent my way

Laura,

As I'm sitting here, with tears running down my cheeks, my heart is full. What a birthday you had... filled with love from your beautiful family and friends. Alec was with you, because there's nowhere else he would have been. He was one of your most blessed gifts of all.

Love you,
Holly

Happy Birthday Laura!!!! I did not know yesterday was your birthday. I would have wished you a wonderful day had I known. I'm glad I had the blankets done for you and happened to deliver them on your special day.

Hugs,
