52/366: Tom

Once he said to me, “You are voluptuous.” And, “If I were straight, I’d be attracted to you.” We started riding lessons together, but after six months the AIDS made him stop. He’d be 49 today. I still miss him. But I think sometimes he still watches me when I ride.

I used to transfer his bday in my calendar from year to year. Thanks for reminding me of it. I miss him. The papyrus painting he brought back from Egypt hangs on my wall...

...and the little cat figurine he brought me sits on my desk. I think about him a lot.

I know that figurine! I can picture it now.
