I spoke to my dad today for the first time in 20 years.
As most of you know,my dad is dying.Ours has been a long-distance relationship with periodic cards and letters.By coincidence,my mom talked to him today.I was there and we talked for a long time.I told him to let go of the guilt,and i loved him and what I gained from him.It was good.I have been sober 2 weeks.i will be sober today.Thanks for listening.

3. I'm sorry that he's passing away, but that's wonderful news.
Imagine what it would be like if you hadn't had this contact. God bless and keep you all.
