A Death in the Family And I Am Staying Sober
My father-in-law passed away a couple hours ago. He took me fishing and to sports events in Pittsburgh, even before I started dating his daughter. He has been like a father to me, particularly after my birth father died 29 years ago. Karl hasn't been well for a while, so this is sort of a good-news-bad-news story.
If I hadn't stayed sober since May, this would be a good excuse to drink. "Excuse" is certainly the right word. I thank God I am sober and untempted, and can be a source of strength to my mother-in-law, my wife, and her sister.
This would be a good chance to get drunk. It's an even better chance to stay sober.

So very true. Stay strong Dan, your family is certainly blessed to have you.
