Hey guys it’s me again. This time I need your full attention because what I’m about to share with you is way too important to keep under wraps. I want to talk to you about HIV/AIDS and what we can do to spread the word to prevent it.

DID YOU KNOW…
- AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and it’s now the 17th leading cause of mortality in the United States.
- More than one-and-a-half million poeple in North America are infected with HIV.
- Combination therapy called highly active anti-retroviral (HAART), is the standard treatment for HIV infection.

I have spent the past few days trying to figure out what I could use or say to make this blog somewhat interesting. I was panicking because all of the sudden I couldn’t think of anything. Nonetheless the unexpected happened.
Last Friday I took my oldest daughter Xochy to her boyfriend’s house and while driving back I turned the radio on and popped in a CD she had made the night before. Usually we jam to all the songs except this time it was different. This one song was not talking about money, drugs or sex; it wasn’t even talking about relationships. I listened to the lyrics and that’s when it hit me. I began to wonder how many times I’ve been in a slump and needed something or someone to pull me out. The times I’ve felt so down and unaccomplished I would crawl into a hole thinking “I’m not going to make it”. But then, I plowed a little deeper trying to remember the things and all the people that have relieved the many beatings life has brought upon me. And there I was reminiscing about the decisions that bruised me and the ones I fell down, but got right back up from. I thought about the instances in which looking into the eyes of my little warrior daughter Alexandria was enough to continue swimming to shore. I have to tell you we have been through thick and thin together and because I chose her over everything I got to live this far.
As the song progressed I thought about the many people I have to be eternally grateful for taking the leap when I needed them most. The ones that dared to feel my pain and wear my shoes knowing at any given moment we could bump heads because what they saw and felt was 100% different than what I thought or felt.
Now, what I want to know is how many of you have walked a mile in each others shoes and have looked through each others eyes to get over a hump.
