To the dear women that are going through the gut-wrenching, heart-breaking journey of battling for their lives against this putrid scourge, I say simply this:

Show the men (and women) in your life the post by Al a few posts back. Insist they read every word. Then tell them that THERE is the role model they should aspire to in all they do with respect to the women they vowed to love, back when they were thinner, fatter, less wrinkled, had all their hair, did everybody's wash, cooked every night, took the kids to their activities, cleaned the house, handled all the bills, and didn't have to spend hours a week with a needle in their arms filling them with toxic solvents to keep them around for a few more years of dedicated servitude to their families.

AL GETS IT... AND I SUSPECT HE HAS ALWAYS GOTTEN IT. And even after all of his love and devotion for his beautiful Linda, he now has only his photo albums, memories, and a heart shattered into a thousand little pieces. WAKE UP FAMILIES...your most precious gift is at risk of being no more. These are the times that love was made for...don't waste another second being selfish.
