Hey! I really enjoyed the site.
I had a friend back home that
had HIV/AIDS for 10 years. She
passed away this past November.
I use to sit with her for hours
hearing her begging to die.
How she didn't want to live
anymore. She couldn't handle
it. I wish I would have known
you then. Maybe you could have
rubbed off on her a little.

circumstances that
we ALL face in life. |
