A moment of your time please.

It's about 2130 here in a rather dark melbourne, and I have just returned from the hospital with some sad new to relay to you all.

After a rather long battle to regain health, one of my good friends, James, or, better known around here as Seiferic Acid, has unfortunately passed on from what is now been confirmed as pnumonia. (i think thats how its spelled)

The interesting area however, was that he had been hiding a secret from even me, one that only his family knew about. It turns out he was HIV positive and had contracted the full blown AIDS. The doctors have been a tad puzzled at this, and have promised to look into it.

Thats it. Sorry to bring down the mood on this wonderful Wednesday.

Love Shark

I'm extremely sorry to hear of this...I'm sure everyone is.
It breaks my heart and Eraser's feels the same way too, when we loose such exceptional characters. Our condolences to his parents. I hope you can relay this to his family for us.

In this day and age it's extremely rare for someone to pass away from pneumonia.
I think we should announce it to the community on the front page but that's not my place to decide something like that. If it's OK with his parents I will announce it.

Thanks! from bp

...what can you say at such a time? Really sorry to hear that J. I know nothing said will lessen the loss but at least you know there a folks you can talk to if you are feeling down and need to ben an ear. Talking is good!

Again, really sorry to hear that...!

that's a real shame. from what i knew of him he was a good lad, pity we didn't get to know him better.

My most sincere condolences. I didn't know him really either, but that doesn't take away from the fact it's a real shame to loose someone, especially someone his age

Also my condolences to the family. I wish them all the best in the difficult times ahead.

I've passed on the messages from here to his family, and they appreciate your sentiments.

As for me, i've accepted it. It's kinda almost a relief to know he's somewhere better rather than lying in a bed struggling to breathe.

My feelings are with you and his family.

In the late 80ies my mother offered during some years a room in her home to young men in the last stages from AIDS. They knew they would die sooner or later - and we knew it too.
I remember several talented, funny and warm-hearted people. They were happy to have a place where people treated them as normal as possible, not being afraid of holding them if they needed it. I was deeply impressed at that time that all of them passed away in great dignity.

Since about 15 years no other patient with AIDS came to my mother simply because of the fact that since then they have their medicaments allowing them to live, work, cheer almost as ever even with this terrible disease.

That's why I ask you, Love Shark: did he not want to take modern AIDS medicament ? Or did the insurance not pay for it ?

Remembrances, as we've discussed elsewhere, are the key.

Good ones especially.

Sorry mate, My sincere condolences to you and his famly.

My condolences to both you and to the family.

So many sad stories, the world seems gloomy these days...

I may compose a song for you... Hmmm, which one? Celebration of Life? Or Mournful days?

Life is so very sad, but we must hang on to those moments of happyness. They are all we have.

Condolences to you and your family. But it is good you have accepted it. The last thing our loved ones want is us racked in pain over them. We must move on, Never forgetting, but not letting it impede our path through life.
