DENISE R. SMITH
Kathleen
I can believe i'm sitting here at a aids clinic! Being tested! While sitting down waiting for the nurse to call me, i said to myself, "Kathy, just laugh", but the pain i felt sting so hard that all i could do was cry. i found out four months ago that i might have contracted something, but i've been too afraid to tell my adult children. What would they think of me? i felt ashamed. My late husband and i had been together for over thirty years and not once did i have to walk down that path, and just by me dating a man for merely a year i put my life in jeopardy. Lawrence and i had sexual intercourse after six months of dating; I thought that was okay in today's world. I mean we were both two old school kids trying to get our grove back. Little did i know that Lawrence never lost his! He wasn't the kind of man that i was use to, although he appeared that way at first. An old country girl like me got lost in his waves of lies. They all sounded good, every word that came out of his mouth was what i wanted to
hear.
