Today marks two years of being diagnosed with HIV. Two years of unexpected ups and downs, tears and laughs, struggles, feeling lost and lonely, feeling loved and cared for, feeling less than but working on feeling worth it again...to all my friends who have been there for me...a hug and the most sincere thank you. For being there for me, to my loving and supportive family, Lorena Piña, Yohana Marmol, Kim Lewandowski,, Atsu Gadri, Julian Hartzell, Patrick Schreiber, Erika Ericka Roshell, CS Hartell,Analenda Estrella Aguirre, richard alexander, Sandy Palmer...to all of you, I am in debt...Thank you for being my support, the hand I could hang on to, the ear I could talk to, thank you for being my friends. Two years ago, I felt my life had ended, today, even with tears in my eyes I feel that my life is just starting. I have changed alot, I am no longer the Mauro I once was...I am better! I love you all!
