Remember Alex

Many of you are friends and family that I have not had the chance to speak with in a long time but you have been in my thoughts and prayers.  I wanted to take a minute to let you know how precious you all are, were and will always be to me.

Recently I was able to reconnect with someone who was like a little sister to me only to find out that the reason we had lost touch was that a tragedy had changed her life.  I had left messages, e-mails and kept missing her.  Finally one day I got an e-mail that changed my life too.  She told me she could barley speak about it but that her baby brother Alex had tragically died in an accident a few months prior.  Alex was only 13 and the mirror image of Jeffrey in so many ways.  My heart broke and I felt so awful that I could not be there to help her in her time of need and grief.  Alex has a web page http://www.rememberalex.com if anyone would like to stop in and show your love.  Many of you may have received his father’s CD as a Christmas present from me because I love his music (Jeffrey Steele).  He recently wrote a song, “Son” and the lyrics are on the page…If you have the time just to read them they will touch you.

The purpose of this e-mail is not to pass along sadness but to remind everyone that it is so important to remember those who have touched your life and brought you joy.  True friendships and love can not be faded by time or distance.  Please take a minute to e-mail or call those you have thought you have missed for too long to reconnect with.  Don’t let the next phone call or e-mail be to let you know it is too late to ever tell them you love them and how much they mean to you.

If we can each take the 30 seconds to forward this to the ones we think we have lost maybe it will open the door and give you both the second chance to get back in touch.  If just one person replies then the memory of Alex has made a difference and each new memory made is a gift from Alex.
