Hello, my name is Cheryl and I live in Chicago but I am from NE Philadelphia. My father died on November 7, 2000. I will not post his last name, because I'm not sure if AA ettiquette allows that. He was 61 when he died.
The reason for this post is that I wanted to see if anyone out there remembers my father, as he was a long time AA member.
Although he asked me many times, I never attended a meeting to watch him speak. I guess I didn't want to relive painful memories of our lives before he quit drinking. Now I regret that.
My father died when I was 24 and just really starting to get to know him as an adult. I know that there are probably alot of things I dont' know about him, and maybe never will.
If you knew him, or think you knew him, please contact me. Any stories you might be able to share would be greatly appreciated, and might help just a little to ease the pain of losing my father way too soon.
