Heartfelt Thanks

[AlanBama]

I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Grants Committee, and mostly to the generous and loving donors who made it possible for me to attend this year’s AMG, especially Jody, Jan and Jen. I could not have gone otherwise.   The unselfishness and generosity of our Forum Family just blows me away sometimes.   I love you all.

I’ve said in some of my posts that being poor is probably the worst part of AIDS for me.  I hate it, and am not accustomed to asking for help with anything.  Thanks for the respectful way in which you all dealt with me, it means a lot.

I may be poor, but I am very rich by having such loving friends.

With gratitude and love,

Alan

PS – even though they do not read the forums, I have to thank my brother and sister-in-law, for loving me unconditionally and helping me financially with spending money for the trip.  We read so many posts about rejection and non-acceptance by family, so I am especially blessed by my relationship with them.

Well Alan, you are the A in AMG!  It would not be AMG without you.  It was wonderful to get to see you and visit with you again.
