World AIDS Day 2010

Raymond and Busby allowed me to take over the posting today. Today is World Aids Day  and as a blogger, I wanted to remind my readers that even though we don't hear about AIDS on the news much anymore, HIV/AIDS is still touching the lives of millions of men, women and children everyday around the world.   



If you have time, go to the link above and read about what you can do increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve HIV/AIDS education. 


Today (and everyday) I remember my little brother, James who passed away from AIDS in 1989. 


Thanks friends.

  4. We're so sorry your brother passed and are sending (((hugs))) and Light to you.

    The mom just saw an interview with Stephen Lewis (Canadian diplomat who has done a lot to bring awareness to AIDS in Africa in particular) a couple of days ago, very timely.

  6. AIDS does seem to have taken a back burner to other diseases, although all over the world it is wreaking havoc on lives. Remembering James today with you...he looks like a special brother and friend.

  13. How very sorry we are that you lost your James to AIDs. My human sister will be going to Ethiopia in january, on a mission trip to help people living with AIDs there. Now they are receiving drugs to help them live, but many have previously lost husbands and children and parents to AIDs, so there is a great sense of loss..
