Mr. Barnes lived across the street from Keith's parents, (they have always been neighbors and the kids grew up together) They are all very close, Keith says Mr. Barnes was like an Uncle to him. When we would be visiting Keith's parents, Alec would ask Keith to take him to see Mr. Barnes, and they would walk over and visit. One day we were all at Keith's parents, we must have been celebrating a birthday because all of us were there. Alec asked Keith to go see Mr. Barnes, so off they went. Then Keith and Al came back and Next thing we see Mr. Barnes drive up in his corvette. Alec had asked him to go for a ride in it. And of course he said yes. So Keith sat Al in his lap and Mr. Barnes took them for a ride around the neighborhood. He was so kind to do this. Then he gave the rest of the kids a ride. It was so nice of him to take time out of his day to do this for Al and all the kids, and he truly enjoyed doing it for them, with his great big smile, that I always saw him with.
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.
