I don't believe I ever posted this

I lost David in 2005 to AIDS. Here I am in 2022. It's just not fair.

At the time, this is the memorial I did for him, and I would like to share it with you all.

deliberately ignoring a medical emergency because you don't care for the victims is indeed more than disgraceful.....

ACT-UP does great work.

I am so deeply saddened to learn of David's untimely demise from that horrid disease! 💔

I sincerely hope that your precious memories of your time together will bring peace to your heart & a smile to your face.
