I Cried Silently is a true account of how one gay man's loving parents worked their way from prejudice and misunderstanding to acceptance and understanding. My husband and I are the parents, and in this book, we share how we met these challenges and gave comfort to a much-loved and talented son who fought the AIDS virus. It's also the story of the people we met who made the extraordinary care team who helped us and our son as he faced the end of his life.
