Mommy Who Gave You Aids?

By Linda Davis and Arielle McElroy

This book was written so that others can be influenced to make changes in their lives no one ever wants to make assumptions about anything. However, to die or be destroyed, especially in a violent manner is not your destiny. As one grows in life you identify the causes and effects of any given situation, which upon analyzing all of the information given to an individual they will have the power to make the changes necessary for life enhancement which also allows for a better future. The prior generations may or may not have had that opportunity which could have prevented an early demise. Therefore, information will also prevent another generation from perishing due to a lack of knowledge.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to all of my grandchildren London, who is called blessing, Aubrey, who is my beautiful; Andrew (short) for A.J will always be my handsome man. And of course my Arielle, who is my love. She has helped write this book. I want everyone in the world to know how talented and lovely she is. We as a family try and strive for excellence as Christians because we have to be set apart as well as set examples. This is a wonderful way to express that love to the youth by preparation and information.

Introduction

The transition from a child to a teenager, to young adulthood takes transformation and each year a new experience takes place just to name a few: physical, emotional, and sexual. And with each form every individual has a voice in their own circle of confidentiality.

This book was written to inform every individual and their families whom have gone through losing a loved one to the HIV/AIDS virus that you have not been forgotten. Empowering yourself to become better for the next generation with the information that you receive, to get better not bitter. Even if no one was there to help you rebuild, renew or restore in the (flesh) the natural positions. In the spirit, God had you in his arms and on his mind through this journey all the time. HIV/AIDS has no color barrier or cultural difference. This is across the board. Reality has gripped many individuals and as a result the remaining family, mostly children are left to support themselves or each other. For those that are not supported and had to fend for themselves what is your vision or mission for life? We can all make up a theory or make an assumption which can also be changed. Which one of you will evolve into the next President of the United States or become an Inventor? Working as a researcher for the cure of multiple diseases would be a great future. How about a Scientist? Who has the answer for a cure to HIV/AIDS? How about an Investment Banker who will share information about investing with the world regarding stocks and bonds, housing foreclosures, education, or a politician really for the people and who will keep their word. We all have dreams you can be the first one from your generation of individuals who will be able to come out of poverty. Is that possible I believe it is with the correct formula that we all can understand. The system is changing daily from the medical results to the new core education in the school system. Depending on the state you reside in, all students have to take the regents except for those schools that have (exhibitions) no regents. Therefore, it is an absolute must for one to learn all they can in every area of life to become successful. I hope and pray that you will realize time will come and go whether you are progressing or not.
