I thought I would do more than what she asked. I thought I would enlist my friends here help.
My friends son died a few years back. She and I have been friends for many years, our kids grew up together. Her son had AIDS. He was sick for about two years and every time I would talk to her she would tell me of him being in and out of the hospital. One day I figured it out. I asked her if he had AIDS. She said yes. I prayed for him with her. He lost his battle. I went to the hospital to see her and him. He was on life support and in a coma. None of her friends would visit her there because they were afaid they would get it. To be honest I was afarid at the time. I watched as the nurses came in all in gloves and mask on. My friend Connie washed his face and put cream on his lips. I toched his hand and rubed his forhead. I wasn't afraid any longer, the man needed to feel our touch without rubber gloves on.
Today in his honer his Mother asked if I would go to this site and light a candle, $1 for every candle that is lite goes to a national AIDS Fund.
Just click on the link in memory of a man name Tommy for me !
Thanks

Of course, Elaine.
My cousin Mike died of AIDS nearly ten years ago--a Vietnam vet, and a very fine man. We miss him.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
