Another year
« on: September 05, 2006, 12:48:59 pm »
3 years ago today i was told that my HIV test was reactive ...positive
it seems a long time ago now , a lot has happened , the first year was bad really just existing from day to day , the second year felt even worse and i was forced to confront my demons and seek professional help and this last year has been in comparison a really good year, i´m happier and more positive in my thinking than i have been fo many years i have a man by my side who has been a great source of support since we met almost a year ago.

i would like to thank those who supported and helped me over the last 2 years

all the best

Congratulations Garry!  I'm only into this 8 months and have already met a few demons.  Hopefully I've learned enough from some of the others here to move forward more smoothly.  I do appreciate all of you "trailblazers" from whom I've learned so much.  It is very comforting to hear you say that during year 3 things seemed to settled down and you are on a smooth sailing course now. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Garry, it is Eldon:

It is good to hear that things are on the up-and-up for you. It is also a good thing that you have your partner by your side who is supporting you through all of this. Things will only get better in time.



Have the BEST Day!
