The Constant Gardener

This article definitely captured my attention because the topic was one which many refrain from talking about. The article takes a very serious life-threatening disease and shows the audience how difficult HIV/AIDS is to go through and the struggles that come with it. This shows how the disease can take away and ultimately deteriorate someone's life. It makes me appreciate how fortuante I am not to have this disease. It proves that love does conquer all because the gardnener never gives up due to how much he loves and cares about his partner. He literally gives up his life in order to take care of someone which many people wouldn't think to do. Even the nurse is surprised at how dedicated the gardener is because it has been going on for over 10 years. It must be difficult living life every day besides when one becomes a parent. He truly does care about his partner and is willing to do anything to make him better and to help him overcome this disease. Towards the end of the article, it becomes clear that the AIDS patient is becoming less hopeful and is making it clear that he will not be able to live with the disease for much longer. The patient really is stripped of himself and his normality. Hopefully one day someone will come up with a cure to this horrible disease because no one deserves to have a disease like that comes upon them at any given time. This article was very moving and caught my attention because it goes into detail about what the daily life process is when having this disease. This disease is on the rise and everyone should take precautions because anyone could have this disease. I think that because of this article, everyone should appreciate their lives and to never take things for granted.
