The Good Thing About Aids, the Bad Thing About Aids

In this scrapbook album the beginning is the ending and the ending is the beginning. I believe each of us is on a journey from life to death to life. Many living with HIV/AIDS are tethered to fear and uncertainty and experience sudden and conflicting emotions that concurrently wound and heal. The ambiguity of these feelings can be toxic; therefore a conscious decision must be made to focus on positive thinking. This same choice is important for anyone living with a terminal illness or in unrelenting physical or emotional pain. My prayer is that the "snapshots of emotion" shared in this book will make you sympathetically aware of both the beauty and pathos that is the reality of learning to live while suffering and dying.
