I remember the look in my dad's eyes when I first came home drunk. I remember the look in my dad's eyes when I came home after serving only 14 months of a 4 year stretch in the navy. Drunkenness put an end to my military career.
I remember the look in my dad's eyes as he lay in the hospital dying. At the time I had nearly six years of sobriety. I shall cherish that look the rest of my living days. There are moments the the power of sobriety is awesome beyond comprehension.
