Thank you so much for all of your words to my father. I know you were all a big part of his life. AA ment so much to him. It was always about helping one more. He truly did care about each and everyone of you. As deep as my sadness is now I do understand that it was his time to go. Now I must challange all of you to carry one his message. Just help one more person stay sober, one day at a time. If you give just a little bit of yourself you will be rewarded in so many wonderful ways. The day of his funeral when I stood up to say a few words about my father I was awe struck at the amount of people sitting in that little chapel. I know it only represented a portion of the lives he affected. It was a long journey of forgives and understanding with myself and my father but in the end I was rewarded by having a truly wonderful relationship with him. Thank you all again for all your thoughts and prayers.
