Summary: Understand what it means to a loved one suffering with AIDS
Review: Many of us do not know what it means to have AIDS let alone someone who is dying from it and even much less a close family member. This book opens the mind to see the mental and emotional anguish of discovering just that, as well as the tremendous need of 'good friends' to take the journey - with its inevitable conclusion - with us. This book will enlighten you and you will value your own friends even more and treasure the time spent sharing each other's joys and sorrows. Life is a journey not meant to be taken alone and with this book, you will know better how to share this pilgrimage with others regardless of the outcome.
