Like Mr. Thompson, I was there, though I was living in San Francisco. I remember the before, during and sort-of-after, which is now I guess. I took classes at a hospital on caring for affected individuals. Spent a year in the '90s taking care of my best friend who lost his lover the year before, to AIDS. He passed after a year of mourning was over of...AIDS. As he planned, I might add. We went, he and I, to the first spreading of the AIDS quilt in D.C. and reading of names. It's fitting to remember our lost friends and relatives.

I'm so sorry for all the lives lost, but I am grateful you shared your and your friends stories. Thank you. It's how we keep the candle lit in my book. Hugs, Clarke.
