Shebee wrote about her abusive boyfriend and I had sympathy. Mostly I have admiration that she got out and stayed out. You see Shebee is not a stupid person. She understood consequences. If she stayed, he was going to continue with the abuse. If she left the consequences were more desirable.
One of my favourite people is David Patient who is a long term AIDS survivor. He has lived with AIDS for 25 years. He calls it living with Bob.
David and Neil live on the fairy farm near Nelspruit. I met them almost 5 years ago, I will not pretend that I am best friends with them but I do pop in for a cuppa every now and again. Neil makes the most divine sandwiches.
Now the thing is that I have not met anyone as positive as David ever. He is both HIV + and mentally positive. David is awesome and when he gives me advice I listen. I know he is going to be in town over the season and I am definitely going to visit, You see I need some picking up and a visit at the fairy farm is always a tonic.
David and Neil, Guys I love you.
