(Alec loved to be in the pool in his circle tube float and float and swim around.) So I felt it was a sign from Al. Then one day we were inthe pool and I was throwing Cassidy's barette in the pool and it would sink and Keith and Cass would race to find it. Out of nowhere after playing this for a bit, there is a young boy inside the green float next to me and he asks me what they are doing. I told him I was throwing something for them to find. He watched and smiled as he spun in the float. Then he told me that i should trick them and throw it one way but tell them I threw it a different way. I said good idea and did it. He thought it was so funny. Another time I threw it and he said to Keith that he peeked. He was enjoying watching them and telling me where to throw it to trick them. He just reminded me of Alec so much because me and Al were always teasing Cass and Dada calling them the boring ones and me and Al had a pool song "Daddy's a big baby a mulch". This boy was sweet and he appeared and then left within 15 minutes.
Another time, we were at a water park and Keith and Cass went one way to get ice cream and I went to get our things that were on chairs. As I got there there was a little boy crying and was a teary runny nose mess and walking in circles and saying Mama. I looked around and noone was with him or helping him. I said are you lost and he nodded yes. I said I'll help you and his tears instantly stopped and he was comforted, it amazed me how he just trusted me and wasn't scared anymore. I walked him up to a park worker and told her he was lost, she got a security worker and she told him she would find his Mama. As they walked away I heard her ask him his name and he said Alex. It was close enough to Alec for me especially since so many people called Alec Alex.
I feel Alec put these sweet boys there for me to cheer me and so I could feel his presence.
