My daughter Lora died on World AIDS Day ......many years ago.
She was in the 8th grade, loved to play field hockey, had a wild sense of humor and was born HIV+
Lora was the second child I buried due to this horrendous disease. john was 7 and had died 10 years before she did.

I hate this disease........the stigma it still carries...that people are still dying because of this disease and children are being born infected with it...that I can not even find a red magnetic ribbon for my car...but you can find one of every other color!

I miss my children, i miss the friends i have lost, i am tired of making quilts...
First quilt I ever made was for my oldest daughters birth mother...she died of aids 3 months after my daughter was born... i am rambling....sorry
