Actual Reality
December 1st is now past. It was WORLD AIDS DAY. I must admit that on the day itself, I was so involved in keeping up with the events of the day as well as my usual fundraising activities, that I did not have time to write this post or for that matter to think about what this day signifies to all human beings. Oddly the Barry Manilow song "You've Got To Have Friends", written for Bette Midler, was on my mind most of the day. The Lyrics, "I had some friends but their gone. Something came and took them away", held special meaning to me and I am sure to you as well. To realize how many of our friends and family have been taken from us, due to this insidious disease is after all these years even more devastating. To come to the actual reality that they loved and cared for us as much as we did them makes the loss all the more costly. I wear a red ribbon for each one thousand friends that I have lost. I wear three in all. Sadly I will probably live long enough myself to require adding another ribbon to my sad and reluctant collection. With all this in mind, I must consider again, as I have for far too many years now that World Aids Day is in actual reality an occurrence that takes place each and every day. I urge everyone to consider the ongoing predicament and to speak out against this disease every day, as we lose more friends, every day. Parents lose their children, spouses lose their partners, and children lose their parents. Consider all of this. Do not try to imagine these losses. Wake up to the actual reality; look around and ask if your world is a little emptier today, then speak out. Tell everyone, " I insist we put an end to AIDS. I insist we take care of those who have been harmed and or left behind. Stop It! Stop It! I insist!
