I <3 This!

Samhain Remembrances

Orval Archie Hope, Sr. - for giving of yourself, even when it hurt

Aubrey (Robin) Robinson - for looking out for my interests in ways I didn't even know I cared about, and for spurring me to educate myself and others about HIV/AIDS.

Ricky Ray Hope - You were a rascal and I wish I'd gotten to know you better as we got older.

Jason Nathaniel Payne - for your stubborn pride, your brashness as well as your caring (though you tried to hide it)

Orval Archie Hope, Jr. - for far too much to list here, I owe so much of who I am to you.

James Hobart (Bart) Howell - for your kind demeanor and passionate nature, and your "Aunt Jemima Dervish Dance."

Jason (Jake) Anderson - for showing me that no matter how different people seem to be, they can still love one another.

Brian Lee Poss - I wish we could all be together like the old days. Sorry things didn't end well for us.

James (Jim) Collins drumcub - Think of you every time I drive by your old apartment. You left us too soon, cub.

Stephen Mackin coolukman - Just over a year now, still doesn't seem possible.
