Re: Thank You Hugh and everyone else:
Hi! Hugh and everyone else, I didn't really want to mention about why my Weekend wasn't as nice as I would have liked it to be, but I've now decided too. My Life-Partner of 10-years was also 35-years old, as with it seems like almost all of our Friends who are dealing with this terrible Disease are loosing their Lives in their 30's.
On June 11th, one of my Dear Friends I've known for 15-years Passed-Away and this past Saturday, June 18th was the Memorial Service. He was only 35-years and his Passing was due to complications from "HIV/AIDS" and it was really kind of quite sudden, of his Health changes, these past couple of months.
Besides that, I went to the Cemetery on Father's Day, to take Flowers to my Families, including actually my Mother's and Aunt's. This is the first time in several months that I've been able to get myself to go to the Cemetery, which is about 45-minutes North of where I live here in Sacto, in a Small {but growing fast} City named Woodland. One of my Dear Friends whom I met about 4-years ago, thru my Friend whom we lost, went with me for support, so it did make the effort somewhat better and easier for me.
I had mentioned to a few of my real close Friends, that I've gotten to know thru the Club Site and I wasn't really wanting to mention to everyone, but I've seen in the past how everyone shows their support for others and I'm not asking like "Poor Steve" but I thought just that I did want to explain what I was going thru.
"BTW" I've been and hope to remain "HIV-" and I'm not condemning anyone who might be "HIV+" but if there is someone who might need or want my support {Off-Club Site} please feel free to contact me and let me know what if anything I might be able to do for you, of my support for you. I've never told anyone about someone elses Medical, Physical Disabilities, unless they've told me that it was all right. I've got too much respect for confidentiality. I've had several of my Friends tell me that I should look into becoming a Counselor, but I just mainly love to do my best to help my Dear Friends and Family with whatever their needs are, if I'm able to help them.
Peace, Luv of Friendship to all my Dear Friends, Steve
