For Example
That night Talmadge and I talked about our plans for Father’s
Day.
A pause fell into the conversation. Talmadge said, “The
example you set is way important than the words you say.” 
I nodded, not sure where he was going with this.
 “The older your kids
get, the less time you spend with them.” 
“That’s true.” 
 “Only so many chances
to set a good example,” he added. “I got sober when my son was two. Can’t tell
you how grateful I am I didn’t blow those chances, sitting in a bar somewhere.”
We both looked over at The Preacher. When he wasn’t lecturing
someone at an AA meeting, he was making money.  He had a son he rarely saw.
Today I won’t miss a chance to set a good example.
