I'm heartbroken. How can people be so cruel?

103. YOU are part of "It Takes a Village" - this is YOUR moment........

Nursie, I think you have touched on one part of the sadness and pain of this issue: you're looking at something from years ago with 2021 eyes. So many pains to go around: the agony of having to 'come home to die' - the parents realizing the kind of life the child that they love has been living (not the 'gay' part - but how he had to deal with all of the related issues, including 'coming out' to his own parents - "What could we have done? How could we be so blind?) - the friends (like you) that could have/would have been there to be of comfort and aid.

Of all of the things that Ronnie Raygun screwed up - his refusal to acknowledge the HIV/AIDS problem as it was exploding in his time was one that truly hurt SO many of his 'Hollywood' friends, because they were all to familiar with that very issue. And just as we've seen in the 'COVID years' - leadership matters.

If ONE DU'er decides to 'reach-out' to someone that is 'suffering' and wanting/needing help or support - you've done a great thing to honor David - and I'm sure that the thought of your deed would give him great comfort - and it is well deserved.

PEACE......
