There's still a distance to go with that prejudice. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy "Twelve Habits of Highly Successful Cat & Their Humans." Thank you so much for ordering it.

It has been heartwarming and heartbreaking! I'm sure you've often wondered how they might have benefitted from the drug protocols available today! My heart just breaks for the families that simply lost their sons during this time, struggling in the throes of loss and not finding comfort anywhere...it was, after all a "Gay Disease." I just can't imagine how it hurt to be dying, or watching your child die, all the time being stigmatized for the disease! But you were a comfort to all, and I can imagine to that one mother, you were a lifeline! I'm so glad you shared how they fit into Dulcy's story, too. Just amazing, Dee. <br /><br />On another quick note, your new book arrived at my home over the weekend! I'm looking forward to reading it...I thumbed through (but I had company) and I just love the way you've laid out the chapters. I can't wait to read it.
