Hey Carl,
I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Having been in that position, I understand the feelings, both of loss and frustration, and probably some angst thrown in, that you are experiencing.
I will send peaceful energies to you.
HUGS,
Mark

I am glad to have a group of people that care so much for so many and have time for me too :)
I don't tend to dwell on HIV daily , Sometimes that may be wrong ?

Carl,
I believe it to be very healthy to not think about HIV, as often as I can. At times like this, there will always be a major disconnect, between us dinosaurs with HIV and those infected within the past decade or so. Our experiences are so vastly different, that words can seldom convey the true emotions and heartache involved. Nobody, who experienced the early years of HIV, can have looked upon the death and destruction that it spawned and not have been changed.
Those changes have been internalized by LTS and are seen through a prism that usually points forward, as the past is often just too painful to remember. What I would ask, of those who do not fully understand the comments of the OP, is to respect his words and feelings, as they are a part of who he is as a person and a direct result of why he is a LTS.
Joe

Hi Carl,
My sorrow for your pain and the deep sorrow your friend must have had as his journey became more and more painful. All we can do is walk with each other in the pain; we cannot judge it, diminish it or take it away - we can just sit with it and perhaps find one of life's lessons in it or not. Know how much I honor your experience - not just the one shared in this thread, but in all of the words of wisdom you so kindly share with us.
