This is probably one of the most profound and heartfelt stories I have ever had the pleasure to read! It brought me to tears several times!!
My husband and I both worked in the industry for over a decade in the early years. He in the "trenches" as a case manager (social worker) and me in administration running and HIV/AIDS Medical Clinic. It was emotionally very difficult, especially in the early years, when the mortality rate was extremely high. We also witnessed far too many family and friends that ghosted someone who tested positive to the virus! That is something I will never understand! Thank you Gary for sharing this beautiful story !!!
