Thanks to Dive who is always so thoughtful. Her attention to others is admirable!!
Thanks to all who post here. Thanks Monroe for all the great guidance you gave me in my youth. You took a chance on at 16 by giving me a job on the weekends picking up glasses in the club so I would not feel so alone and get into anymore trouble than I already was into. You influenced me and your Mom nurtured me. I honor you both. Part of me is who I am because of you. Trixy, you left this earth way too soon, but not without leaving a lasting impression. There are no guys that can wear a big pink upside down triangle necklace like you. Thanks for giving me a skill so that I could make a better living for myself when I was away at college. You were my friend and mentor. I honor you. Hey Steve! Highschool buddy. You went way to soon. When I see your Mom around town she never forgets me, even though my appearance has changed so much. She always brings up those fake ID's we made in highschool. Oy Vey she was pissed. Einstein a go go and all the dancing we did. On my worst days I feel your prsence. You told me you'd always be there. Thanks for keeping your word!! You were my first Gays,
You will be my last Gays! Until we meet again! Cheers Boys!! |

My daughter Lora died on World AIDS Day ......many years ago.
She was in the 8th grade, loved to play field hockey, had a wild sense of humor and was born HIV+ Lora was the second child I buried due to this horrendous disease. john was 7 and had died 10 years before she did. I hate this disease........the stigma it still carries...that people are still dying because of this disease and children are being born infected with it...that I can not even find a red magnetic ribbon for my car...but you can find one of every other color! I miss my children, i miss the friends i have lost, i am tired of making quilts... First quilt I ever made was for my oldest daughters birth mother...she died of aids 3 months after my daughter was born... i am rambling....sorry

It is a terrible disease. I was working at a hospital in Atlanta (Crawford Long Hospital part of Emory Univ) when the AIDS epidemic first made the news. I believe it was 1981 or 82 when we first began to see patients with this disease; back then it was called GRID and it was terrifying seeing all these young men coming into the hospital to die. This hospital worked closely with the CDC here in Atlanta and we had doctors from there in our unit daily to see our patients and consult right there in the unit. I was privy to some very interesting conversations between the specialists at the time.
I have lost so many friends to this disease it is hard to remember them all and that is a sad sad thing. I also used to manage an apartment community in Atlanta and I actually sought out gay men for residents. So many of them have passed away as well. My daughter and I became involved in their lives; sitting with the sick ones while their partners ran errands, had lunch or dinner with friends. What wonderful times when the new drugs came out and so many are living long and happy lives now. How things have changed for the better!!!

I had a cousin that died from Aids in the 80's. He was in Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan back in the day as a dancer and also danced in Grease with John Travolta(my mom could always pick him out in the movie, but I can't). He had a kid show in Chicago called the Magic Door on Sunday mornings. I miss him very much. He was the one person that held my maternal family together. Because he knew he'd die someday, he planned his own funeral. I'll never hear the the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow without thinking of him as he had a violinist play it at his funeral.
In memory of my cousin Bobby Cook, who is missed by many

the fact that its hard to find a red ribbon isnt lost on me... i think that with the new cocktails ppl became complacent... they arent as afraid anymore...
but... its not over... it hasnt gotten better... the stigma associated with this is as bad as it ever was... this world... and especially my area... the southern us... needs to be educated so badly... i havent seen a good scary as hell poster in years... it scares me... |

My cousin, that I spoke of in another thread, died from AIDS in the 80's.
He was a professionally trained musician. His voice was nothing short of magnificent. I'd give my right arm to hear him again...... In memory of my cousin PH. With love always, until we meet again. ox |
