Alice was alone with Dana in the hospital. Shed never been so scared in her life- she was absolutely terrified of losing Dana. She was lost in thought when something sparkling on Danas wrist caught her eye. It was a bracelet, with purple and blue glass beads, and metal letter beads, spelling the word Believe

Dana, I like your bracelet. Its really nice.

Dana smiled, and then said, Thats what I want to talk to you about.

Alice was a little surprised. About the bracelet?

Just listen to me, Al. I met a fan of mine in the hospital a little while ago named Jillian Bradley. She was 13 years old and she had leukemiashe was just this kid but she was just so brave. When I met her, she made me this bracelet and told me to never give up she died about a week later. You should have met her, Al.

Wow. Alice felt something inside she hadnt felt for as long as she could remember- she felt touched, moved, by someone shed never met before.

Alice, I want you to have this bracelet.

Alice was shocked. Why? It was a gift for you. You should keep it.

I want to pass something on to you. If anything happens to me, I want this to be my legacy. And Jillians legacy too.

With tears in her eyes, Alice undid the clasp of the bracelet and put it on her wrist. Thank you so much I dont know what to say.

You just have to promise me one thing.

Oh Dana, Ill keep it forever!

No, Alice. I dont want you to do that.“

What? Alice was again shocked.

Al, I want you to keep this bracelet until one day you find somebody who needs it- I mean really needs it. Then, I want you to give them this, and tell them everything. Me, Jillian, everything, OK?

Alice looked up at Dana with tears in her eyes. She was now part of a legacy of hope that she hoped would continue forever. All she could manage to say was, Yes, Dana. I promise.
