Must have a stuffy nose. Box of tissues on the headboard for easy access.

I have a box on my headboard too, comes in handy when you are sick. If he's eating soup and there are tissues then maybe he is sick.

I looked it up. Seems this was the year he was formally diagnosed with HIV. And it was 4 years before it claimed him.

A lengend gone too soon, but it’s somewhat comforting to know he had fluffy companions.

Hi headboard Kleenex buddy. I thought I was the only one.

This was taken in the late 80's, probably shortly after his diagnosis.

Love how the tissue box echos the shape on the bedboard
