It has been seventeen weeks and six days since I lost my wife to cancer, and seventeen weeks and one day since I laid her remains to rest. Yet in this relatively short time, I have recovered again--from the greatest loss I have ever suffered as yet in my seventy years of living.

Thanks be to God and AA that all these recoveries have been made possible.
