Blogger Mark S. King's personal, moving account of the AIDS epidemic, past and present, produced in honor of World AIDS Day 2010. MORE at: www.MyFabulousDisease.com
This is the most touching video I have ever seen regarding the HIV AIDS epidemic. Thank you. And you are definatly still a HERO!!! We need to hear the stories about this time period, because so much my generation forgets. Luckily, there are people like you that are willing to talk about it. Thank you. I am so moved by your words, and by your brothers story. I wish I could just hold him and tell him that anyone in his shoes would have done the same. Again, Thank you. Sending love your way.
Fantastic Uncle Mark. Uncle Dick once visited me15 yrs. ago while shopping for collectibles. He shared this very story with me. We wept as he told the story in such detail that you would have thought it happened the day before, The pain so obviosly torturing him, still, after all the years had past of his decision to hand Emil the cup. His struggle at that time was between his christianity and his decision. I had no answers but, I assured him if it were me I absolutely would have done the same.
A lot of young people look blankly at you when try to explain how bad things were back then. They think we're just a bunch of "old farts" who don't know how to have a good time, party and let go of the bad times we once all shared. I lost 22 friends in one week of 1988. Maybe it's best the younger generation doesn't know that time but sometimes I think it's a tragedy that they don't even want to try to remember it!
We love you MARK...Please consider visiting Lima,Peru!! :)

Beautiful. Sometimes I feel like the only one who remembers. Glad I'm not. It's so important to never forget.
