Not a good day .
Permalink  

no Yesterday I lost a dear Al-Anon friend , he was 55 yrs old he had been in program for 7 yrs , he was so grateful for his sons addiction as it led him to our program and changed his life . He was truly an enthusiatic , grateful member of Al-Anon . 
I sit and think of him today and am filled with gratitude that i found this program many yrs ago , the gift of being able to clear up the mess I had created by damaging my relationships while living in the insanity of this disease. and I remember our last conversation he had made his amends to all his family and friends and totally changed his life , he was grateful for his son for giving him the oportunity to support him in his recovery which changed both thier lives for the better. Today I am sad but know that this too shall pass .  Louise

Sorry for your loss....

Also have to say that it is truly a "gift" for him to have taken care of all his business, amends, and everything prior to his passing... the program provided him that opportunity...

What a wonderful inspiration. I am still in an incredible mess.  I am so grateful I have the option to try to clean it up.  That was not there for me before.

Maresie.

Steady as she goes...  There are many past members of the Al-Anon Family Groups
who cause me to celebrate gratitude and thank my HP for allowing my path to
cross theirs.  I am better for it and of course grateful always.

(((((hugs))))) smile

(((Louise))),

Pipers and I are sending you all our love and blessings today.  I am so sorry for your loss.  You were both blessed by each other's friendship and love.  May those memories be of comfort to you.  My sympathies to the family as well.  Loosing a parent is not easy, no matter what your age.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

In sympathy,
Karilynn & Pipers pray.gif

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, making amends is a wonderful thing.  At least he gets to go with that.

Hoping you are feeling better.....

Andrea
