See you later my friend
Hello everyone,
I have posted a couple threads about my sponsor who took me under his wing and took me to my first AA meeting 86 days ago today. The time he spent with me and what he has done for my life can not be described, but I will just sum it up by saying this man is the reason I am sober today.
But anyways, his cancer got the best of him last night as he passed away. He showed us how to live, to laugh, to care, and ultimately how to die. His faith and 30 years of sobriety never wavered as he left us all too early at the age of 59. As I told my wife last night that he passed away, she started to cry. I asked her why, and this is what she said: "I only met him once for 15 seconds, but he not only saved you, he saved our family."
This would sum up the life of the man who helped change the life of me and hundreds of others in his short time on this earth.
