Video of Alec and Mama at the Jimmy Fund

2/13/2013

This video clip was just found by Chelsea, Keith's (and our) second cousin. She forwarded it to Holly and she forwarded it to us, with Chelsea saying "This is why I want to work here". (She's in her senior year of college)
 
Me and Alec were at the Jimmy Fund for his regular weekly appointment, and Lisa , The Amazing Lisa, told us the guys were going to put Alec's name on the new Dana Farber building they were building. (Lisa is the one who yells "Alec" and tapes his name in the window for the guys to see. I'll have to do another post about her because she is so great.
Me and Al were hanging out on the bridge looking out the window when a lady asked if I would speak about what this means to us to have Alec's name on the building.  I was so nervous ( I don't do well with spot light). But I could not say no, I had to say how special this was. The first take I said something way better, but they didn't get it, so I had to do it again.
I don't understand why they didn't ask Alec or show him more, I wished they did, because that would have been so much better, and what the people would want to see.
It was even on the news.
I was thinking about this video a few weeks ago, wondering if it was still available to view (because I've been seeing commercials showing the new Dana Farber Building that Alec's name is in). Then this email comes from Holly with this video that Chelsea found.
Alec has passed on his "Magic" to us, he always just knew things or could make things happen, and when we asked him how he'd say "It's Magic" !
Now, when I think of something , wonder about something or question something, the answer comes to me, "It's Magic"

The other day I was cleaning the kitchen,  and the lyrics to an Alanis Morrisette song just popped in my head, they were

"I'm sad but I'm laughing, I'm brave but I'm chicken shit",
I have no idea why they came to me but I pondered how two opposite emotions can be present at the same time and how this is my life.    Then about  20 minutes later I ran downstairs to do laundry and when I came back upstairs, that same song that was just in my head was playing on the radio.
I knew it was "Al's Magic",  I was blown away and just froze in amazement.

Laura,

I was so happy when Chelsea sent this video. It made me cry, as it has done every time I've seen it and/or read about what those wonderful men did to brighten the childrens' days. I'll continue to watch it over and over again.

Love,
Holly
