World AIDS Day

Today I remember all whose lives have been touched by HIV/AIDS, those infected, those affected, those who give care, those who work for a cure, those who provide service, those who live, those who've died, those who love.

In a special way, I remember ...

• Patrick
• George
• Raul
• Arthur
• David
• Michael
• Vinnie
• Frankie
• Ryan

... and the list goes on ...

Your lives were not lived in vain and your deaths were not in vain. You left your marks upon this world and upon my heart and the hearts of others who love(d) you.

To those who live with HIV today, stay strong, stay focused, stay well, and live life to the fullest.
