My grandsponsor is ailing and tonight I heard my sponsor was taking him to a meeting so I went out of my way to get there. He has not made it out to many meetings lately. He did not look good. He is a super fiesty loud italian guy and he was very frail and not the same. I have had the same grandsponsor my whole time in sobriety (only 3 and a half years but still) My first sponsor had him as a sponsor also. A very important person. 34 years sober also. I guess I will do some serious praying.

hi Mark, sorry to hear he is ailing, it is sad to see someone who was big and blustery age too quickly or have health problems. i am praying for him and you. hugs. jj/sheila
Sending prayers today for you and this fine gentleman.
34 years how wonderful. Please can you explain to me what a grandsponsor is as over our part of the world I have not heard of this. He sure sounds like a grand AA member and yes highly respected.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that God may supply me with strength and show me the direction in which He wants me to grow. I pray that these things may come naturally from my cooperation with Him.
I pray that I may share in making the world a better place to live in. I pray that I may do what I can to bring goodness a little nearer to the earth.
"Common sense would thus become uncommon sense. I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me. Never was I to pray for myself, except as my requests bore on my usefulness to others. Then only might I expect to receive. But that would be in great measure."
There are a few with sponsors & grandsponsors around here, seemingly the trio work together, the original sponsor, her sponsee starts sponsoring, and that person becomes close to her sponsors sponsor.
Sorry to hear about this Mark : (
