It was a quiet Christmas with friends. No Christmas card from Bob Adams this year. I wonder if he’s gone now. Every year now there is someone who’se Christmas card doesn’t come and that’s really the only way we know if someone has died. Our generation doesn’t have the family support group that hopefully these younger people will have. We don’t hear about friends illnesses through their relatives. Its another reason that we have to be openly gay if we are going to grow old successfully. We have to remain a part of our family’s lives beginning early. Our partners have to be a part of that family too.
