Remembering
Dec. 1st, 2010 08:36 amHmmm... No mention of World AIDS Day on the home page of Boston.com, NY Times, LA Times or BBC. Not even Facebook.
I remember. There is still work to be done.
Reading Time magazine about a medical mystery. Then seeing it slowly invade my life and steal my friends.
For Doug O. Smith, my assistant for 7 years at the law firm who helped me every day in the office, helped me buy my condo, did AIDS panels with me about boss/employee strategies for employees living with AIDS, and taught me how tough it is to be a health care proxy,
For Derrick, the brilliant sys admin at my first job at the benefits consulting firm, who taught me how to socialize with co-workers, and gave me his mixing bowls when he realized he wouldn't need them much longer.
Gordon Fiedor, brilliant artist and airbrush master at the Boston Herald... whose art graces my walls and my dreams.
and so many others who left us too soon.
And for the children parenting children in S. Africa.
