AIDS can destroy a family if you let it, but luckily for my sister and me, Mom taught us to keep going. Don't give up, be proud of who you are, and never feel sorry for yourself.

If you are feeling low, or trampled, unappreciated, or forgotten...and you are reading this, realize it is an illusion...the hope is real...you are valued...and what lies ahead...is brilliance.

Don't try to change anybody. And they should let you be yourself, 'You loved me when you met me, so let's keep going!'

If you're going through hell, keep going.

My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.

I'm gonna keep going.
