I was 9 years old when I found out my father had AIDS.
     AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew
that this would be a family secret. When I was 12, his condition got worse.
     We couldn't afford all the necessary medications for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had
no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling
completely lost, not knowing what the teacher was saying. I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even
though he was too weak to eat by himself.
     I knew he was going to die, but after so many years of  keeping his illness a secret, I completely
know what to do when he reached his last days.  
     I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to
anyone, even me.
