Life continued. Suddenly we reached the 90s and a lot had happened. Princess Diana visited the hospital wing back in -87, holding the hands of dying aids patients without wearing gloves, and that changed a lot.
Louis and I continued to visit the hospital regularly. Treatments were finally available and the death rate went down.
The 80s had been such a horrible time, filled with fear and uncertainty. We lost so many and we kept them in our hearts.
But the '80s was also when I found Louis. When I met Zayn, Niall, and Liam. When I found myself and learn to love unconditionally. When I stood up for those who needed it. I could be the hand that held them through their darkest times.
Louis and I continued to fight. This time for our right to be parents. In the middle of the 90s, we fostered two young boys and later we could finally adopt them. We added Zayn and Niall as their middle names, honoring our dear friends that were no longer with us. Liam got to be the Godparent.
When same-sex Civil Partnership was legalized in the UK in 2005 we didn't hesitate at all. We had a ceremony and signed the paper.
Same thing when same-sex marriages finally got legalized in 2014/we were one of the first couples to tie the knot. We kept it small and simple. Nothing would ever compare to our first wedding which was a dear memory of how much Zayn and Niall meant to us.
It wasn't fair that their lives ended so early but they would live in our memories for a lifetime. Even if we were lucky to not get aids, the awful disease took so much from us.
We were trying to live our lives for the both of them. We had been blessed with a long, happy life and we made the best of each day, living life to the fullest.
