World Aids Day - Something I have to say!

As you all know December 1st, 2009 was "World Aids Day". Yeah that is a maouth full all in itself for me. First thing I did that morning was explained to my children (teenagers) why this day actually exsist and why it is so important. I have to say (not because they are my children) that they were very informed on the statistics and could share information with me and their father. MADE ME PROUD! but I also had a chance to talk to my "God daughter" whom have been back with her mother for a year. Her mother was incarcerated for a year and now is out. Mind you I will never keep a child from their parent and so I told her it is good if she moved back with her mother (bad idea) and so she went.


Well I am not going to use any names, but my god daughter is 14 years old and she came down for Thanksgiving to visit. First of all I noticed that she hadn't gotten bigger (eating good I thought) she have a "New Swagg" about herself, something none of us were use to. She was just a little too fast and grown for me. But thisis my god daughter and I wanted to see where her head was at the time and what she had been up to. Well one thing that came up (from her mother) while she was down here, was she skipped school the day before she came to my house. I was like why is she here? But that is something that her mother have to deal with. But she skipped school and she was with her friends and her 17 year old BOYFRIEND! What the Hell! She had his little ring on her finger like she was going to get married that day.


Her mother asked me to get her a pregnancy test because she said that she had sex with the boy (not telling me that) and talk to her.I was thinking what am I suppose to say that a teenager that is having "unprotected sex"? I was dumb-founded because my son is 13 and daughter is 12, I have had the talk with my daughter and my son talks to his father about thing like that all the time. But check this out I have talked to my god daughter before also when she was in my house for 2 years about 1 year ago. MY HOW THINGS CHANGE in 12 months. Well I started telling her about the whole getting pregnant and AIDS and STDS and the death toll is high for the AIDS victims and stuff like that and how little boys are "Dream Killers" because once you are pregnant there is no more cheerleading and stuff like that. Out of that stuff we talked for 3 days.......the only thing she came back with that she got out of it was "Not to have unprotected sex!" I said not at all but that was what she wanted to hear. I was exhausted at this point so I sent called her mother and I told her what she got out of it and told her mother that you can't be her friend any longer because she is highly disrespectful when it comes to her mother.Well she got back on the bus and went home. That is a learning experience to me.

But as I thought it was all over and then I was in the car and I was listening to the radio on December 1st and there was a very positive segment that was devoted to World Aids Day. The DJ and the team were talking to a lot of people that either contracted or were close. Well something happened there was a lady that called in and she was crying. I was like okay this is different. Well she said that she was listening to the show with her husband. She has been married to him for 24 years and the show compelled him to tell his wife that he is on the "DOWN LOW" (my mouth dropped)but it gets worse. He has been on the "Down Low" for 5 years! And when you thought it was all over it gets worse!!!! Then she says that he knows how important of not catching AIDS is to her and he has been following through with his husbandly duties since then and he then told her THAT HE HAS BEEN HIV POSITIVE FOR 2 YEARS AND BEEN KNOWING IT. He said he didn't know how to tell her. Not only that he hopped out of the car because he said that she was thinking about how he feel because he had to tell her. ***** please he is so lucky that she didn't kill him because I know a lot of women that would have right then and calling into a radio station is the last thing that would have been on my mind; The radio station talked to her and she was on her way to the clinic and get TESTED and was suppose to call back into and you know what?????? SHE DIDNT CALL IN AT ALL.We need to be on the look out for this lady she may have went mad.What would you do if that happened to you? People PAY ATTENTION!!!!! Aids are out there and you can't do anything about it once you get it so PREVENT IT BY ANY MEANS!!!!! I want my kids to grow old and you should too!!! Get tested!
