Delilah's Grave

Yesterday I went to bring Dee some flowers, she loved sunflowers but I thought she would have a headstone by now! So I was looking and looking, "Delilah girl I brought you these, where are you?!" Oh gosh and the wind was blowing so hard, it almost knocked me over. We had storm winds brewing along the Gulf Coast last night. My mind was frantic, racing. Finally a potted sunflower led me to her final spot, someone visited before. She was very loved, you see. But I thought I would come there to talk… Continue

Just reflecting...

This is the 3rd time after both my radiation and chemo that I"m going for my MRI this thursday. *fingers crossed* it will be clear. I guess i'm going to have to get used to this...the MRI's, the claustrophobia and the trying to find my veins. And I know I'm only at the beginning so I've got to go a long long way. I still can't quite get used to the feeling of it all, the nervousness, the fear and the wait. The waiting is too long. And I know in reality it only takes a few days to get the results… Continue

Remembering Brad and Candace

Dear Friends, Recently it was the 20th anniversary of the passing of my partner Brad and my god daughter Candace both who lost their battle with AIDS in 1989. They will always be in my heart and the reason I do what I do not only for children with HIV and AIDS but all of my brothers and sisters.

I am grateful for

When I think about things in my life there is so much for me to be grateful for. First and foremost would be the fact that I still have this thing called life to be grateful for. I am grateful for my family and friends, grateful for the good times and bad, the ups and downs, peaks and valleys and I am even grateful for the long stretches where it seems I am out here on my own. I am grateful to be able to use the wisdom I have gained in my life to be a better friend, brother and uncle, grateful f… Continue

I am grateful for...

Today I watched your video, Kengi, about 2 years of service. There were so many beautiful people in that video. Sooooo many smiles and so many satisfied, content, happy people. You wrote on the bags with the toiletries "I care". Wherever you are in life and whatever you have in life, you can feel like you are alone. People need some material things to survive in our world. But, they always need reassurance that they are not alone because sometimes they can feel like there is no one in the worl… Continue

I am grateful for

This past weekend was the 4th time my organization went to Shriner's Hospital for Children here in Los Angeles and just like before I was able to do this outreach with people who are my friends and just like before the event was such a huge success and major blessing not just for the kids and their families, but for my friends and I. As I left the hospital and was talking with Niambi I thought to myslef just how very “thankful” I am to God for just how richly blessed my life really is. I thought… Continue
