First thing we see in Logan airport is a Giraffe suitcase with a tag that had "A B" in big letters hanging on it. It brought us a smile and comfort, then in line beside us is a boy with his suitcase with an image of a Giraffe on it, it was just amazing. Then I see this same boy with his big sister and their parents and they are going to Disney, ugh. It was so hard to see the family that was us and of course made me so sad. But throughout our vacation, we noticed that all around us were families that looked like us now, Mom Dad and their daughter, I truly know that Alec surrounded us like this because he saw how sad I was when I saw that family.
Cassidy claims she had fun, but her main focus and happiness came when she was swimming in the pool and not the fun main pool with water slides, nope.. the plain old pool that was quiet and warm. She has always mostly just wanted to swim when we have gone away and this time was the same. So Disney was a bad choice for us, but at least she can say she did it and not see those Disney commercials and feel like she's missing something. I thought Keith and Cassidy were going to be miserable because they both hate the heat and crowds and lines, but Keith was so patient and trying to make the best of it for us, I was the most negative. Of course the whole time we were thinking of Alec and missing him so so much and trying to enjoy Cassidy at the same time. Alec gave us so many signs of Love, letting us know he was with us which helped us smile. One of those was when we were at breakfast and our waiter reminded us so much of Cleveland (Al's healer). He was loud and boisterous and called Cassidy "Princess" which Al called her. Then he brings her a cupcake with a candle and says it's for her birthday with a card that is signed by all the characters. A few minutes earlier I said to Cass that we should've got her an autograph book. ( and It wasn't Cass's birthday.) Then he gave the people behind us a birthday cupcake and he says "Happy 23 rd birthday", we all smile and look and it was amazing as it is but when I looked , I said to Keith that guy is not 23 and he says I know, he was probably 40ish. Which made it even more special that our Cleveland waiter chose to tease him and say happy 23 rd birthday. Al surprises us in the most silliest sweetest ways all the time.
All throughout the vaca., we heard many times someone say Alec.
I will share more of all the amazing signs Al gave us throughout, he is the best.
As I am typing this, I have Live with Kelly and Michael on and Michael says" tonight at 8:23 ,the sun sets right between the buidings in Manhatten". Then they all repeat "At 8:23 tonight"!
Amazing, that's my sweet boy!
