I visited my doctor on Monday February 22, 2010, not my HIV Specialist but my Family Practitioner Dr. R. Dowe. I anticipated this visit because I had not been there for the past three (3) years.
As usual the waiting room was full and my waiting period was approximately one (1) hour. Sitting there I started to reflect on the day I was diagnosed then I come to realized that during this difficult period in my life he was not only my doctor but the Angel that the Lord has sent to guide me.
It is now four (4) years of my diagnosed and it is because of the brotherly advice of Dr. Dowe that I was able not to see the virus as a foe. Even though I went against his advice of not telling anyone, an advice that I am totally against I appreciate all the time he spent on searching around to gather information for us. I pray that the good Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless and strengthen his practice, enriched his life, the members of his family and all those that are impacted by him.
Being Diagnosed for 4 Years
It wasn’t an easy road, overcoming depression, learning about myself, striving to build a business and having my one on one relationship with God, through it all am thankful to still be alive and being medication free. (Yes I have a phobia and it is the HIV medication. The reason being once you are on it you cannot come off).
Eve for Life
This organization is for Women and Children living with HIV. It was founded by two powerful and wonderful women of God Mrs. Joy Crawford and Miss Patricia Watson. Their mission is to educate and empowered women who are living with HIV in Jamaica. I know that with God’s continual presence in their lives and this organization it shall be accomplish. There is more information here http://eveforlife.org.
Regrets
WOW are there any? Will I deem mentally ill if I said NO. Lol There are times when we look in our lives and see that because of disobedience we end up on the wrong tracks, but the Heavenly Father in his infinite mercy did not allow it to consumed us. So because of this outlook I said No, I have learned from my mistakes and so instead of harboring regrets I prefer to use those mistakes to strengthen me.
Nothing in life can stop us from achieving our dreams. Obstacles will arise but it is you the individual who should take the negatives and turn it into a positive. My favorite line is ‘I am positive in blood so why shouldn’t I be positive in mind.’
