A bit ago, Nik said to me
Still having courage
And a little bit of hope
"I have AIDS," he said
I was scared out of
my mind to know
he has this horrid disease
that still has no cure.
I don't know if he thought
I would turn my back on him,
disown him, no longer love
him instead of being very
proud of him for his bravery
And his openness in regard
to all that he's afraid of and
ails him as time goes on
All that changes in his life.
A conversation of sorts between my baby brother and I.

wow :( niks a lucky guy to have you hun, HIV is a scary thing.

Having been on the receiving end of a scare not too long ago I have some insight into the fear of being diagnosed.

I got lucky, my result came back negative, but I have rarely been that scared, safe to say i was a wreck.

People around you at times like that pull you through. Without some of my friends I have no idea how I would have coped, when I needed them most friends pulled through for me.
