Oh how very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life, eternally
Oh how very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time
He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
But they always look in their prime
Sometimes the truth behind a situation continues to defy logic until someone else verbalises what has been eluded you for ages. Unfortunately in this case if proved to be true, there are very serious consequences.
If anyone who reads this knows of an agency who successfully conducts drug interventions, please leave a comment.
That was quite good.
I am going to admit the first words I asked my only openly HIV positive friend were "What are you doing here?"
It is only due to his great sense of humour, we became friends.
We were in second year university and he was talking about going to the clinic and I am there like what clinic. That's the real bother about having a chronic disease you spend a lot of time at doctor's.
Anyway S took a double take when I asked the question and so I explained "I don't mean why do you exist, I mean what are you doing here, bothering with all this, why are you in university" And in my little head I am thinking what a waste of resources - to educate someone who is dying.
Well S taught me. We are all dying. Every one of us.
And how can you deny a bright young person of any sexual persuasion the opportunity to broaden their mind.
HIV doesn't kill in months like in the play, but in years. Some people are even living over 20 years with the drugs we have now.
So after you spend some time moping and waiting for death to come take you, you might as well use your remaining time doing something productive.
I have since lost touch with S. But I hope..NO I KNOW he is out there touching other people the way he touched me.
Thank you S. I am a better person for having known you.
Never to try shopping downtown on the monday after a month end long weekend. It was absolutely horrendous.
Too many people and the shops were only starting to restock.
I'm going to wait til Friday or later til I try again.
We'll see if the guvament corn seeds grow.
There is something very wrong with our attitude towards Hope's killer.
It's a whole three weeks til the next holiday.
At last I can text the green team.
Someone should send an SAS team after the Lord's Army leader.
