Reflections On Love And Service

I could not put down "Magic Johnson: How I Survived 20 Years With HIV."
http://www.newsweek.com/2011/05/15/magic-johnson-20-years-of-living-with-hiv.html

I was delighted to read about his family's response to hearing that Mr. Johnson had aids:"My mom hung up the phone with me and got on a plane to come out here, my dad got on a plane, my brothers and sisters got on a place to come be with me. My aunts,my cousins-they all were getting on a plane. That's love, that's support, and that makes a world of difference in how well you fight the virus. I know that's a large part of why I'm still here today."

I found the picture of Mr. Johnson and his wife in the article inspiring. I was delighted to see that "in sickness and in health," Magic and Cookie Johnson stayed together.


I am moved by Mr. Johnson's commitment to helping other human beings, those who are suffering with Aids and other folks who are in need.
