Went to a wake yesterday..
The man was a member of AA I knew for the past 1.5 years and who had been in and out of the program. The circumstances surrounding his death (suicide or fell off a balcony) aren`t clear but it doesn`t matter. He`s dead.
At the wake were people that knew him during his life including his sister. A slide show was presented and it was apparent the man had lived a full life and experienced much success. (He was pushing 70)
However, the man I saw in the slideshow was nothing like the person I knew. The person I knew was someone on their last legs. An alcoholic whose third wife had left him, who was broke and mooching off a woman for a roof over his head.
Weird. The only thing I could identify with was the fact he was a friendly man.
The slide show photos stopped around 2011 shortly after his third marriage.
Guess not too many happy times after that.
