Sad Day

I just heard that the best friend of a very good friend of mine died last month. I didn't see him much, because he spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico with his mother. Luis was a great cook, and very sweet. I remember one summer when I scratched my hand on his rose bushes, he came out with antiseptic and band-aids and fixed me right up. I feel very sad for my friend, as he and Luis has been best friends and roommates for many years. One of the reasons I walk in the AIDS Walk every year is because Luis told me he got a lot of assistance from GMHC. I know some people don't feel they do a good job, but Luis' endorsement was good enough for me.
