the tornado

[Tommyh]

last weekend I got a phone call from a friend.Jim died.Jim was a old drinking buddy from many years ago.

I went to the funeral home Sunday night.I walked in and saw his dad,sister,ex wife and children and friends.

I talked with them all as usual.I felt funny as I left.Then over the next 24 hours, thought came.I began to see a few things.I began to see how I used Jim for money,booze and drugs those many years ago.In doing so,I harmed his marriage,wife and 2 small children to some extent.
It never dawned on me before to look at his family when writing out a 8th step list.It took this for me to see it.
I just feel like I got a good dose of the big book part where it says "we are like a tornado roaring our way thru others lives.
It opened up a new area to look for amends I guess.Anyway,I have been praying about this today.
I might have to talk with his ex wife(who is a friend of my family) about this

If, you owed him money

Be a great idea to help out his ex wife an kids in their time of need.

Sorry for your loss

Eye openers...... you know I have always felt that God will not dump on us any more then we can deal with at one time...... this awakening I would call an opportunity for some 9th step amends. My condolances on your friends passing.
