In this heartbreaking #AIDSQuilt panel, John's daughter wrote "Love you Dad" in black glitter and his son ironed on the personal details. Take a moment today to join us in recognizing those like John's children who do not have someone to wish #HappyFathersDay to due to AIDS.

When Robert's father tried to sign his son's #AIDSQuilt panel, he was so distraught that he could barely form the letters to write "Dad." The #NationalAIDSMemorial wishes a #HappyFathersDay to those fathers whose children are no longer here to celebrate with them due to #AIDS.
