So today is December 1st. a day wrapped in memories of those no longer with us. We might even play the should’ve, could’ve, would’ve game of how we might have made a difference in the lives of others as well as our own lives. None of us can turn back the hands of time, however we all can learn and grow from the life experiences and life history that the world with HIV/AIDS provides us. I will spend the day in reflection, vividly recalling my friends who fell sick, having to go into their apartments and remove everything from gay memorabilia to medication so the pain their families would be exposed to would be lessen. The pleads, no make that the demands of bar owners to their customers, as volunteers from what then was the grassroots efforts of The Montrose Clinic and KS Foundation as they came though asking for donations to support their work. The countless celebration of lives for my generation of young people whose promising lives were cutout too short and not having the opportunity to grow to their full potential. The shear knowledge of having contracted an illness where there was no medical care to change what we all knew would be the outcome of death. Thinking of both dear friends and former clients . Thinking of “my kids” who are still here. Young, tenacious, caring kids who I had the honor of meeting when they were quite young who are now adults. Most importantly I will of course think of my own diagnosis in 1987 and the emotional support I had then and still now from my family and loved ones. Fortunately, today the above is not as bleak as it once was, but if anyone thinks it is over or close to being over. Let’s honor the memory of all our loved ones by continuing to provide the care, compassion and, the voice for those living WITH HIV/AIDS.
