Bob,
Thanks for speaking up about
a disease that most people
try to hide because it is
'wrong.' Talking about HIV
and AIDS and how living
with the illness is, opened
my eyes even more. I had
met you before but every
time you talk about it,
it makes me cry. I know
the medicine "cocktails"
make you a little sick sometimes,
but keep your head up and
be strong. Thanks!
Much Love,
Janice A.
p.s. There is always
calm after a storm.
Stay strong Pirate.

Bob,
Your courage and conviction to spread HIV awareness
and messages about living have inspired and motivated
me to continue my commitment to working with HIV.
Unfortunately,
life does not come with a money-back guarantee.
Going after what we want, especially if we're up
against established interests, is likely to demand
the commitment of our best energies -- with no certainty
of getting it.
Oddly enough, some of the happiest people we are
ever likely to meet are those who
devote their lives to seemingly hopeless causes.
For such people, daring a lot can mean staking their
lives on a belief. The outcomes are bound to be
small in proportion: failure, perhaps. At best,
limited achievement.
But none of this seems to matter. In fact, a happy
person with a cause seems to have totally let go
of the outcome. The joy is in the struggle, in the
process. They learn so much; and by living for something
outside themselves, their own small problems miraculously
fall into line.
Achievement is risky, but dedication is wonderfully
liberating.
May you find some peace in the holiday season and
great pride in all you do.
With thanks,
Annie in NH
