[/caption]Today is World AIDS Day - a day of remembrance and awareness. Here's to all of us living with the virus and those of who have lost the great fight. ?
A great way to contribute to HIV/AIDS awareness and give money to the cause is by buying and wearing an Until There's A Cure bracelet. I've worn one every day for 12 years (it's about ...time for a new one, haha!) and I wear it proudly.
Today I remember my parents and not only their deaths, but their work as activists in a time when having HIV was enough to be completely ostracized and stigmatized. They worked to show the world that it wasn't a virus limited only to the lowest members of society, but that it could happen to anyone, including you. And I remember their fight. Thank you for making me who I am.
Today I remember my own struggle with HIV and am thankful for my health, my doctors and the never ending support of my family and friends. Thank you and I love you all.
