I’m happy to see a cause for those who lost loved ones to AIDS or are still battling. When my brother Wayne Parker died in January 1994, I was only 11 and felt so ashamed. How could my great, beautiful, happy and successful brother pass away?
Back then no one was educated on the epidemic. I was scared people would think differently of me. I buried it so deep, to this day I never told anyone but my wife. But this Walk would make him so happy! So I’ll be happy for him and be his voice, and soon walk in his honor. Love you, Wayne. You’ll always be my big brother I look up to. Keep watching over our family from Heaven.
