I thought I would share a special message that was forwarded to me that my daugther(16) posted on Facebook. I'm not a member of Facebook. I'm grateful for the gifts my HP(God) has given me and The 12 Step Program. This is what can happen to folks who suit up and show up and work The Program. Everyone is eligible. With humility and gratitude:
·Happy Fathers Day Dad! Youre my bestfriend . You always have the best advice even though sometimes i dont want to listen to it. I appreciate every little thing you do for me, even though it seems like i dont, i really do. I couldnt ask for a better dad, im so blessed to have you in my life. Youve always lead me down the right path. Youre a hero to me. Thank you for transforming me into the wonderful person i am today I love you so much!
Congratulations, Mike! I know how pleased you must feel. If I had to pick one gift of the program that I cherished above all others, it would definitely be restored relationships with family!
