Thanks for this wonderful piece, Thelma!! I've written about World Aids Day from 2009 to 2014. Not sure why I stopped but anyway, I wanted to share my own family story but thought it'd take up too much space, so I thought it okay to post a link to it from my personal blog -- hope you don't mind: https://lets-be-clear.blogspot.com/2009/12/remembering-family-and-friends-on-world.html
