It's almost that time again....
12 days to go...

Today my sister faxed me the layout of our mother's headstone. While it is beautiful, it makes me cry.
It is to be errected by Memorial day and my sister and I will travel to Ohio for a Cousin's Wedding reception and to visit my mother's gravesite.
It will be difficult to see the tombstone in real life...

At least once a day my eyes fill up with tears and my heart hurts.

Christina and I met a wonderful couple on Saturday. These two men had been together for 22 years and loved each other deeply…I know they still do…
Tom and Mark began their documentary “Silverlake: The View From Here” when they were both diagnosed as HIV+. They share their love, lives and death with the viewers, whom I would like to call their friends.
I don’t feel I was “ready” to witness and feel the experience of their pain and loss of life- for it really HIT me HARD having just experienced the pain, suffering and death of my mother…I am feeling sad about missing those who have passed…
I am grateful however that I had an opportunity to meet both of these gentlemen.

This is NOT a film, it IS love, life and death.
