Now that I have stopped crying I should be able to type. I miss my Dad dearly but he was not one to dwell on the negative. He convinced me and many others to relinquish the grip of alcoholism and take the wheel. I never really thought I struggled with alcoholism but it turns out I struggle with addiction of any sort if i like it I get consumed by it. Gave up the alcohol drugs porn strip clubs (foul language)

Bear Jr., please accept my deepest condolences for and your family. Your Dad was a great man, but you know that already. He played a huge roll in my getting sober and whenever I thanked him for it, he would shrug it off like it was nothing. But it was something. I will never forget him.
He will be greatly missed here. Hugs right back at you. :huggy I hope you stick around.
Love, Me

BearJR.....been waiting for you!!!! God bless honey, me and your Daddy talked about you many times.. He was SO PROUD of you!!!!! And what a beautiful family you have!!!!! He was like our Dad too on the 30 day thread, when you can read back over the year. He was my rock. To this day I have his message from last month when my Mama went to fly with the angels, she was 56. PapaBear was there for me through it all.......through relapse, he didnt judge me and turn his back like many others, he KNEW I was sick! He contacted me privately, held my hand and I am back, SOBER and doing well. He was a big part of that!!!! He never gave up on me! He knew when i need love and support and when I needed my hinny kicked, but he did it with love! He was GREAT!!!! I am sorry I didn't know earlier, I would have been at his funeral supporting you all. GOD BLESS honey, you, the girls, the kids, and especially MamaBear!!!!!!Forever loved, forever missed Papa BearComment

BearJr. Many, many, heartfelt hugs to you. Your dad was an inspiration to soooo many of us here.
He will definitely be missed, but his 'words of wisdom' will live on.
He was a fighter, and he fought this God-for-saken illness and, as far as I am concerned, he won. It takes hard work, commitment, and determination to beat this, and from what I have read, he did whatever it took. 13 months sober - my hat goes off to him!
Again, I am truly very sorry for your loss. Thank you for posting. If you need anything, we will be here for you. :lComment

"I am hopelessly addicted to GOD. And what an amazing addiction. Colossians 1:11- Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;. We have such a glorious GOD who gives and takes away. My Dad was a believer and is HOME. CHRIST is definitely carrying me now, But ill be able to walk soon. Mom told me yall would love to have me here. Me and dad have the same size shoe, But somehow I know ill never be able to fill his shoes. "
Amen! WOW....I am so blessed by your post Jr. Bear.....
With your dad cheering you on, your shoes will be even bigger!!!!!!
:welcome:To our way out!!!!!!!!
