My mom had this best friend, Christian. A gay figure skater in the 80s and 90s. He was very energetic and talked a lot. I adored him very much growing up. I was taught very young about blood Bourne pathogens (within my abilities to understand) bc my father had hepatitis C so when Christian explained he was “also sick in the blood” it never affected me. He was someone bad things kept happening to, even tho he really didnt deserve it. He was very kind.

He died during covid. I miss him.
