My Uncle died from AIDS (technically, complications from Pneumonia)
He was 5'11″ and 200 pounds. Barrel chested like Captain Kirk
I saw him in Hospice when he looked like he only weighed 120 lbs, face gaunt, like death,
going in and out of consciousness. I actually prayed for his death, for his release. Every time I play this song I think of him.
The bad memories first, but then the good ones take over. I remember him as he was. I remember him from my youth.
