Little did we know that while my wife was celebrating her birthday on Saturday evening, her sponsor left for an eternal journey. We got the call on Sunday morning that T. died peacefully, with her family gathered around her.
T. had been in the fellowship for 25 years. She was plain spoken, no nonsense, and believed in helping other drunks.
And just like that a life is gone. But I believe that the legacy will live on.
And if I go while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
Behind a veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time we can soar together again--
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart.
I will be there.
He is and always will be.
