about a friend of mine

he has AIDS-at one point he had about 24 T-cells; he joked that he named them all

in the 12 years I've known him, he's been hospitalized several times for pneumonia; he's probably on his last drug regime and who knows how long he's going to hang on

I asked him if he ever thought about getting a morphine drip and turning it up on high and he said no

he's fought it for nearly 30 years and he's going to keep on fighting it and doing everything he can do make however much time he has left the best he can
