My bestfriend is a gay man named Mike. We met & grew up in Germany in the early 80's. We have been in constant contact and have lived with each other off and on. Being a military brat .its hard to always to maintain friendships but we have for 32 yrs. I MEAN the best of friends. We learned guitar together written songs together. etc. in 1993 he was diognosed with HIV that crushed me. Of course not as bad as he. But fast forward to now. He is still with us. he is in his last stage of aids and is slowly dying ....just as my heart is. When we talk on the phone. He lives in houston I live in Ma. I went to see him last summer it was horrific. I thought I could handle it. I couldn't. I know it was the last time I would see him alive. I love and trust him. and whasever happens i will always be here for thid wondeful man.
