I'll also always remember one morning I was taking Alec to a Dr. appointment and my car battery was dead. It was so early in the morning, that none of my neighbors were out, so I called Chris ( my mother-in-law) for help. ( I was so nervous that we would miss Al's appt. ) She called Mr. Barnes for me and he was over in minutes, with a smile
and a jump start, so kind. And we made it to the Dr. on time.
Sadly, Mr. Barnes suddenly and unexpectedly went to Heaven near the beginning of last year. Keith was told that he passed while sitting at his desk that had all of his pictures of his granchildren and with them was Alec's picture. It was so touching to us.
The day I found out Mr. Barnes went to Heaven, I was talking and praying to Alec and Mr. Barnes, saying please Mr. Barnes give me a sign that you are with Alec and he is o.k. I don't know if this answer came to me in my dream or into my mind, but I was told that I would see a corvette just like Mr. Barnes, and that would let me know that they are together and o.k. The next morning after asking for this sign, I was driving Cassidy to school, and at the end of my street is a crossing guard and he parks his car on the side of the road, he drives an older car, like a chrysler. This morning, he has a "CORVETTE". And it wasn't until I saw it that I remembered that I was going to be given this sign. It took a minute to sink in, I said to Cassidy, look at the crossing guards car. It took my breath away, I was in awe. Then on my way back from dropping Cassidy off, the crossing guard drove by me with his sunglasses on and baseball hat in this corvette, he looked like and reminded me of Mr. Barnes in his corvette (he was about the same age too). This has been the one and only time that crossing guard has had the corvette. He has not had it ever again. (He drives a Hyundai now.) The other thing is , Nicole my (BFF), called me to say , "wow they must be paying the crossing guards alot of money to be driving a corvette". I don't even know why she saw it, because she doesn't drive by this crossing guard to get to the school. (Maybe she came by my house in the a.m, I don't remember) but it was just another confirmation , I think , to make sure that I got their sign that I so desperately needed. That they are together and ok, that Al is o.k. and happy and safe.
