Yesterday was World AIDS Day

[sabrinamari]

I went to a World AIDS Day service in Elizabeth and saw folks I haven't seen in ten years.

It was lovely, and I am so happy to be reunited with my surviving friends and collaborators.

We read the names of local folk who had died. I was surprised at how many I recognized. My beloved Millie was on the list. My friend MM asked if I wanted her to add my dear Lucy to her list, and I said yes. It was so sweet of her to remember!

Karen, they remember you. People I didn't recognize remembered me, too, as the lady who mixed oils with lotion and brought good smelling things.

In fact, now there is a holistic healer who provides aromatherapy on the Ryan White subsidized service list. I met him last night. He seems nice.

It is good.

That is wonderful! If you see them again, tell them I remember them, too, and that I only wish I'd been well enough to be more involved. They were kind to me, and I remember them with great affection.
