ACCEPTANCE TWO OF MY GOOD FRIENDS IN THE PROGRAM SON DIED SUNDAY AFTER A 5 YEAR BATTLE WITH LEUKEMIA.  HE WAS 15 YEARS OLD AND PUT UP ONE HELL OF A FIGHT.  SOME TAKE DEATH BETTER THAN OTHERS BUT BECAUSE OF THE 12 STEP PROGRAM AND BEING ACCEPTING OF EVERYDAY LIFE DEATH IS JUST PART OF THE DEAL.  WHEN I WENT TO THE FUNERAL HOME LAST NIGHT THERE WAS OVER50 PEOPLE THERE JUST FROM THE PROGRAM.  MY POINT BEING WHERE I COME FROM WE STICK TOGETHER IN TIMES OF NEED TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.  THERE WAS A LOT OF SADNESS BUT ALSO ACCEPTANCE "IT IS WHAT IT IS"  I REALLY DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ABOUT IT EXCEPT WE ARE NOT ALONE AND IN TIMES OF NEED WE ARE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. ITS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD.  till next time
