She is one of the most educated people I know. She looks great and so much like your grandma. Wish a Happy Mothers Day to your mom for me. I still think about her and how much love she gave me while we were together. Loved seeing your mom discussing the HIV/AIDS. She is one of the most educated people I know.

I stumbled across it via a recommendation to your blog from another HIV site. I devoured the book in 2 days! A poignant mix of hard won insight, the unimaginable horror of living through the pre-ARV days of the epidemic mixed with a sexy and funny memoir; I was at turned moved to tears, laughter and reminiscences of my own from my first days in San Francisco during the late 90's. Reading your blog, I admire the activist and awareness work that you are doing. I was diagnosed with HIV in 2004, so I have a different perspective on the epidemic and though I just missed the generation that buried many of their friends (I arrived onto the scene in 1996, right before the first cocktail emerged), it has still served as a backdrop to my entire life and has led me on a harrowing but meaningful journey. WHen I was diagnosed, I took all the HIV stigma I perceived and piled it on top of myself, nearly crushing my life. I hid my secret from my family and most of my friends for 2.5 years until a cancer diagnosis and a year of chemo and recovery led me to realize that my coping strategy was not serving me or anyone else. To cut to the chase, I came out as positive, started studying nursing and am now 8 weeks shy of graduating from UCSF as a nurse practitioner with a specialty in HIV. I run a long term survivors group that is a mixture of qi gong, discussion group and art therapy. It has been a great journey for me. I wanted to thank you for your words and ask if you had any ideas as to how I could better use my story to serve and inspire others. I am now happy and healthy--and I hope that you continue to be so as well. I would love a sequel! Hi Mark,
