Pasta Dinner  

4/17/2013

On Sunday, we went in to the Dana Farber / Marathon Challenge pasta dinner. We were not sure if we were going to be able to handle it and didn't RSVP, but at the last minute we decided to go and Maureen RSVP'd for us. We hoped Scott and Darlene would go too because we knew it would be easier for us if they were there .  And just as we'd hoped, Scott kept us laughing on the way in there, he's a funny guy. It so helped off set the sad feelings especially since we had to drive the same route that we took to get to the Jimmy Fund and Hospital. I was not prepared for that. Cassidy's gym teacher from the Ditson was there and came over to chat with her and us, she is also close to Maureen and her family. Her husband runs the Marathon for a boy in Billerica and we got to see this special family and chat for a bit. We also saw  Al's and our sweet friend from the clinic, though we didn't get to talk to her, it was so good to see her.
It was difficult to sit there and listen to all the speeches but it was heart wrenching when they did a slide show of all of the in memory children. There was not a dry eye.  After that all of the children went on stage with their partners,  all I could feel and think is Alec should be there on that stage with Maureen. But I tried to focus on our friends up there and how happy they looked and how thankful I am that they are doing ok.
Alec made sure to let us know he was with us all. One speaker speaking to the runners and he said "Wonder Woman", which is the running outfit  Maureen was wearing to run in. Then they showed a video and in it there was a Giraffe drawn on a wipe off board.  And one more thing, on the way there Scott had brought up the runner Uta Pippig (the one who ran a while back who kept running even though she went #2 ). One of the speakers got up and said , No I'm not Uta Pippig. We just looked at Scott.  This always happens to us, we think or bring something up and then it is confirmed by someone else.  It's Magic!
In the end we were glad we went,   Cassidy sat there listening attentively the whole time. It was really amazing to see. We mainly went for her, knowing how much she loves to do anything for Alec , and we wanted to honor Alec and to support Maureen.

Laura keith and cass,
I am so glad you were able to go in to the dinner to support maureen and all of the runners. There is never any doubt in my heart that Alec guides you and helps you go to something like this. Im sure it meant more than you know to the people who were around you, but also for you all as a family to be there and show your pure love for alec and each other.
