On this day we honor our fathers. As I sort through the memories of him, I have thoughts of both happiness, and sadness.  My dad was quite a character, and a charming fellow, he just attracted people. Most all that he met, loved him and I never came across anyone who didn’t. I spent a lot of time with him after the age of ten, and I got to see all sides, he didn’t hide to much from me. I have many stories, but I understand things today, differently.

Most importantly is the fact that I know today that many of us in recovery have made peace with our parents, some of us haven’t. I realize today that my relationship with the real parent, the power “Greater then Me” is the most important relationship that I need to find humility too honer. The universal power of light, has given me the gift of life, honest love, children I adore a beautiful grandchild, friends that teach me and love me, music, art, and an awareness of how awesome and intense the LIGHT has become for me. The knowledge that others can have their religions, which I respect, but for me, I live with the power of undeniable, spiritual principles, that carry me to a place that substances never did. I love his/her grace, compassion, courage, and recovery. Thank You Father/Mother of Light and Universe. Peace Out. M
