Last night while Cass and I were driving home from shopping, I got a text from Nicole, Cassidy read it and it said "did Keith get my text". Cass texted back that I didn't know. Next text from Nicole,"Keith needs to call the number I sent NOW". We were like what is that all about. Then it hit me, maybe it's about Taylor Swift. I called Nicole who couldn't really talk and just said something about Keith needing to call the number. I called Keith, he said that he called and spoke with a girl from the radio station and she had tickets for us to meet and greet Taylor Swift in NYC and see her perform. I could not contain myself, tears streaming as I told Cassidy and telling her these are happy tears. She was so excited, it was all over her face -- it was that inside excitement throughout. I told her that she needs to know that this is without a doubt a gift to her from Alec. That he made this happen for her because he loves her so much and wants her and us to be happy on his birthday. She knows this. I was so excited for her and I realized this is the first time I have felt this feeling and that came with so many emotions. Here's how it played out.
Nicole's cousin Cindi sent an email to The radio station 102.5 (which she sent to everyone on the radio contact list) she sent one to Taylor swift and she sent one to GMA. One girl from the radio station 102.5, contacted her and told her to call her asap. She told her she was able to get 2 tickets for us from Taylor's record company. This person was amazing (not sure if I am able to share her name), she clearly has a really big heart, Keith thanked her so much and she was so glad that it made Cassidy happy. Then I emailed her to thank her myself and she simply said, "It was my pleasure" and she was glad that it made Cass happy.
We read the email Cindi sent and it was beautiful and so touching and heartbreaking because it hit me that this is our story. She explained how Alec is with us giving us signs especially with 10-23. And that Alec's birthday is October 23, and that it would mean so much to Cassidy because if it happened , then it was a gift from Alec, her little brother.
I have felt with certainty that Alec wanted us to do this for Cassidy on his Birthday and if my feeling was right that he would make it happen. I heard on Good Morning America, that Taylor would be there performing on Oct 23, and recorded it for Cass, because every time we hear or see 23 it is a sign from Al. Then a day later we were all talking about what we would do on Alec's birthday and it came to me to go see Taylor Swift, I tried but it wasn't working out, Then the announcement I heard for the radio contest, I tried as did so many, but didn't win-- but I did win because I got my song from Al. Then the GMA contest, I entered as did so many, and I was waiting to hear. All day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going to get called or emailed to tell us that we won the tickets. I just knew that Alec wanted us to do this, but I also knew that if it didn't happen then that is not what Alec wanted us to do on his birthday. We needed a plan in case, so we decided that we would do 23 random acts of kindness for Al on his birthday-- which we will still do. Alec chose to work through beautiful caring people to share his love and make this happen. Cindi shared our story emphasizing the significance of Alec's Birthday being October 23, she wanted so much for this to happen for Cassidy and she touched someone else who in turn shared their love and reached out to Taylor's record company who was touched and Alec worked his Magic. It was all about LOVE.
We want to thank every one who called and sent e-mails to try to win for Cassidy, because it means so much to us. We felt the love from everyone who was trying to make this happen. And that is the most important of all- Love. Like I said if Cassidy didn't win, we knew that's not what Al wanted, but that either way it was about feeling the love and support all around us.
Cassidy is beaming! And for her it is excitement to See and Meet Taylor, (she thought it was to see Taylor sing which was so exciting to her and she was WOWED that she is going to meet her),
yet mostly that it is Alec loving her so completely and just wanting to make her happy. Oh AL You Are Amazing!
They were also kind and generous to give us a hotel room for the night, so we will go Monday and sleep in NYC!
