JT -
thank you for sharing about your dad. I was the poster child for 'daddys little girl' and I lost my dad at age 17, right when I was just learning about drugs and that is when my addiciton took off running for years.
Reading your post made me cry for two reasons. One I miss my dad and it makes me sad that as Ann said I will never know him as an adult. Two, happy tears for you - what a wonderful thing that you two get to share together, recovery. A father daughter trip to an AA meeting sounds better than a trip to the park to me LOL!
Have a great visit and hug him for me too!!!
