From Karla

The last play date we had was right before school started and Alec, Laura and Cassidy all came to the house, the kids were all excited to get together and play, but nobody was more excited than Alec! He talked from the moment he came til the time he left. I thought he was just a riot. The one thing that impressed Alec the most about the house was the long driveway we have. He couldn't get over it and asked Laura if they could get one just like it! Of all the things he could have asked for, most kids would want the hottest toy, not Alec, he wanted a big driveway. That was a special visit and I cherish the memories of that day. I also think of Al every time I walk the pike at work.

Thank you Karla for sharing that story, I forgot about Alec wanting a driveway like yours, but I am starting to remember it now that you reminded me. That was a special visit and I remember Alec just wanting to snuggle with me on your couch under a cozy blanket even though it was summer weather outside.
And talking non-stop, like you said ... as usual!
I'm guessing the pike at work is the hallway that connects Brigham and Women's to Children's Hospital and the Jimmy Fund?   Because Alec loved to take a trip down it every time he was at the clinic, and make us run through it pushing him in his stroller or wagon , he loved going super fast through it.
And he loved knowing that Auntie Karla worked in the building it connected to. He asked every time , "is that where Auntie Karla works?"

Love Laura
