I am recollecting today the walk we had way back about 15 years ago at EHA meeting where he (my friend J) and his wife talked to me about his status. they came there with their daughter. and the next few years of turbulence when we struggled with him, cried with him, got exasperated with him for his choice of refusing to start medication till he finally gave in ......today when all quietened down as he started facing head on the reality with all its heavy baggages ..... I am glad God is real and pull him up again like Job.....
by the way I met two young girls recently - one have completed a professional course ready to climb up in her career and another pursuing a degree course - both strong and beautiful - full of life - but unfortunately orphans from young age due the ravages of the epidemic we are up against ... I was overcome with mixed emotions - very happy to see them as they lived on but very sad to see that they had been robbed of their parents at such tender age.......
of young widows from the NE coming to me and telling me that they were encouraged by the stories she heard about the way we took our stand way back ... and today themselves are now engaging in fighting the ravages of the the epidemic that had come to them with their marriage .. ...
prevention
treatment
care and support on a holistic way
are small things we can do on this side of eternity ..........
