hiv evening

I recently found out that a good friend is positive. Later, after being there for him for a while, I went home to G...and I cried. Cried because the disease had infiltrated into yet another corner of my life, cried because it still scares me.

G held me in his arms and comforted me. Reminded me of all the things I already know:

It's not how it used to be. People live. Life continues to go on and there's beauty to be found, even on the harshest of journies.

G, who's danced with the disease for over 15 years reminded me that everything may yet be okay.

There's the answer. That's how I do it.

Alone we may falter and fall, but together we stand strong. Never be afraid to lean on those who love you.

That goes double for you my friend. If you need me, give a ring. I'm done crying and my shoulder's there for you...Thanks to G, and everyone like him who's willing to step into tomorrow.
