That's what Al would do

So on Monday, we were sitting on the front steps of our house. and we see one of those guys walking the neighborhood going door to door selling something.  My thought was to go in the house and shut the door and not answer,  but Keith said, " I guess I better stay out here and talk to him.  I stayed and kind of listened, I think he was selling roof installation. But I was more listening to how nice Keith was to him.  The guy talked to Keith for about 10 minutes and only about 2 minutes of it was about what he was selling.   As the guy walked away, I could tell that Keith just brightened his day , just by listening to what he had to say. I could see it in him as he walked away-- he left with a smile and a spring to his step.
  I  said to Keith,  "how are you so nice?"
Keith later said to me, "You asked how I can be so nice to that guy, it's because that is what Alec did.  Alec would've talked to that guy and asked his name and asked about him and really listened to him and in turn the guy would've loved talking to Alec and would've walked away with a smile and a happy feeling and his day would've been brighter, because that is what always happened with Al."

It's true
Plus  he said " the guy is just doing his job-- doing what he has to do"

Cassidy asked Keith what the guy said to him and Keith said,

"Well,  he told me about roof shingles. And then about how his girlfriend proposed to him this weekend and how his Mom just called him and everyone is calling him. He said he never had so many messages on facebook. He told me how he used to have a jeep with 220,000 miles on it.  And he told me it was gonna rain tommorow."
Cassidy chuckled at this, but we all got a lesson from Keith which came from Al, which was just take a minute be kind . I'm so sure that this guy appreciated Keith's kindness because I'm sure so many people (like me) would not answer the door or would've just said I'm not interested.

it is so true, When Alec asked a question or talked to you... he truely and lovingly listened to you. And some of the stories you have shared all these years about Alec with complete strangers have always just made me smile. :)

It's the little things in life that make people smile - a simple conversation, a hello at the check out, letting someone out into traffic, or a smile to a stranger. Alec is still showing his love for everyone through all of you. Thank you for sharing - I love the stories!! Keep them coming!

Laura,

I love this story. I'm so proud to call you, Keith, Cassidy & Alec my family...you have the biggest hearts of anyone I know. All I had to do was look at Alec and my day was brighter. He always took the time to talk to you, to listen to you, and to laugh with you. No matter who you were, Alec treated each and every one of us with the same loving manner. ♥

Love,
Holly
xoxo
