I borrowed the idea of the above photo from JeffFunk in memory of Steve R, Don P, Jeff C, John M, Tim R, and Pete M. Thank you, Jeff, and today I will include Sean and Richie in the people I hold good thoughts for.
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. This is the nineteenth annual recognition of World AIDS Day and its theme is “Leadership.” The World AIDS Campaign has launched the Stop AIDS Leadership Pledge. In collaboration with national, regional, international, and constituent partners, the pledge asks people from all over the world to take the lead to stop AIDS. These pledges collected online, by mail and at events, will be used to create exhibitions, banners and other visibility actions during major events in 2008. With a goal of at least 100,000 signees, these pledges will serve as a persuasive tool for leveraging greater political leadership on universal access to AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support and act as a visual example for key national and international decision-makers to follow.
Please wear a red ribbon today in recognition of all those living with HIV/AIDS, impacted by HIV/AIDS, and lost to HIV/AIDS. Thank you.
The first thing I saw on the internet this morning was a red ribbon – Thank You Google!

My thoughts are with you and all those who have lost friends to HIV/AIDS. I also encourage everyone to wear a ribbon, make a donation, write a letter, or do anything at all to help the fight.
Becky, thank you so much for your lovely post. When I went to bed last night, I loved the idea that there was a candle left burning on my blog.
I’m pleased to light a candle to remember Steve R, Don P, Jeff C, John M, Tim R, Pete M, Sean & Richie.
Steve, Jeff, John and all others you are missed.
