In Memoriam
-
Sometime
around 1995, a puppy showed up at Prodigals' New Salem Campus. Residents in
the program at that time quickly adopted him and named him "Twelve Steps."
Those who knew him called him "Twelve." Over the following years, like
many others who have happened to make it to 1024 Waughtown Street, Twelve
made Prodigals Community his home. He was part of the family. Twelve had an
uncanny ability to know who to welcome and who needed to move on. Twelve
passed away on Thursday, June 26.
-
-
One
of the current residents shared his feelings about Twelve:
-
"God gives us special gifts. Twelve was one of these special gifts that God
gave to Prodigals Community. When we felt like we had nothing left, Twelve
was there to show us that we were not alone. Sometimes in our darkest hour
he would greet us and give us a sense of relief and peace that everything
was going to be alright. He was an angel to some and had a never-ending
love. That never-ending love is important to the recovering addict. Twelve
will always have a place in our hearts and his spirit will continue to live
on--the spirit of love, peace, and recovery.
