| Why is this so important? Well, first off because I'm sentimental. Secondly, because he died of AIDS. Though he died at a time when AIDS seemed virtually untreatable in many cases, to me it still seems like a shock. I found out that he had died a few years back, but I only recently found out about the cause of death. I don't have AIDS, I don't know anyone with AIDS, and I don't claim to really know anything about the disease. All I know is, is that people with this disease deserve attention. Even those who have died from it. They deserve recognition from our government, and from people like you and me. If all I can do is talk about one person who has died from the disease and maybe put a few links to websites with info about it, then maybe I've helped in some sort of way. I have no money to donate, but I can donate how I feel and my words about it on this page. I put the link to this page on my "life" page as well, because after a while, I began to think that this is life; even if it is about someone who died. I may not be dealing with it on a day-to-day basis, but someone else is, and that is their life. I hope in some way, this makes sense. |
