Amber's dad died this morning

Even though we never did have much of a relationship, he gave me the gift of my beautiful daughter, Amber. Amber and I will both attend the service as soon as arrangements are made.

I am sad that he is gone, I am sad for his wife as she has been a good stepmother to Amber. She took good care of Bill for many years. I am sad that he chose to miss out on so much of Amber's life.

I am so grateful for my recovery because it has gotten me through some pretty rough spots. I'm hitting a meeting tomorrow evening.

Hugs to all!

I like what Vale said, Devon.

Prayers going our for all who loved Bill, and special prayers for Amber and you too.

Life is often imperfect in how it unfolds, but I believe there are blessings in each relationship and that every person who crosses our path is someone we need to know and learn from, and they from us. Often strangely wrapped gifts, these relationships are never in vain, and always of value in the lessons they teach us to carry forward long after the relationship is over.

May you and Amber find your blessings and may Bill rest peacefully in the arms of God.

Hugs
