We lost our oldest daughter to Aids May 18th 2001. She was 28. Her name was Shelly. When she was younger she was raped by a guy who had Aids and knew it. We didn't know about the rape or that she was sick for years. Then the world came down which was hell. But hope was there cause they had ways and meds to help. She fought for her life for 14 yrs, She began to feel better about herself after finding out how she could live and be pround of herself even though she had Aids. She learned that at a program at our doctors called HIV University. She was even in a trainning film she thought that was so cool. And we every year for the graduation class give a giant tessy bear in our daughter name. Just to liet the women know we love and support them in everyway and pround they kept with the program. We have 2 other children a son and daughter and now have grandkids so we have been broughten back to life alot. But also see what she has missed Shelly loved kids and I know she would have loved them.
As I read your letter Richard , my heart goes out to you,
You have not only lost a child but Have had to endure all that went with the
loss. I know i am wrong but I hope the person that did this awful thing,
Suffered so much. I lost my son to murder and I hope the person that did it to
him Suffered. I am so pleased that you have grandchildren and family to help
you through your loss and with the rest of your life's. I pray that Shelly Is
watching you all, and that she is happy where she is, and that one day you will
all be together again.
Richard...Your precious Shelly was quite a gal...no one should have to go what she did...(that person that did that got away with murder) It sounds like you are doing well..and have 'moved on', at least as much as we can 'move on' after such a devestating loss....
I know the grandchildren bring you lots of happiness, and lots of smiles....
