Tonight I went to my Uncle Bill's memorial service. I feel like I've missed out on knowing a really awesome person. I have always admired him for being a free spirit and following his bliss. I won't go into the story but because of family politics I never really got to know him.
Before my first memories of him he was an alcoholic. Through the help of AA he became sober. Many people didn't know how many people he "sponsored" through AA, but his true involvement was not really known until his death. He was a hero to many and many of those people stood up at his funeral and say how he saved their life. They spoke of his quiet and gentle love. He was all about love. He loved Marianne Williamson's book A Return to Love. I love that book too!!
I'm sorry I didn't really get to know you Uncle Bill! I pray you will help guide me on my return to love.
