CGiii Comment

David Reiner wakes to a regular morning. He cleans up, makes breakfast, and gets to work. His day careens off course however when he receives an unexpected phone call from his doctor, asking him to come into the office as soon as possible. After a long wait, David finally sees his doctor and is informed that he is HIV positive. Throughout the following weeks, David struggles through the phases of grief as he tries to understand his illness and come to terms with the changes in his life. David's journey introduces him to a variety of characters to whom he can relate with on some level, and walks him through realizing that bad things happen to good people, but that the courage to keep living is ultimately up to the individual. David's story is sad, funny, and moving as he deals with the news of Something Bad.
