“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.

During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.

On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.

In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, “Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”

Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a “sinner” and already dead to her, and that she wouldn’t even claim his body when he died.

“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, “Oh, momma. I knew you’d come”, and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, “I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.

Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him

and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.

After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family’s large plot.

After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.

Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, “They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here’d come the money. That’s how we’d buy medicine, that’s how we’d pay rent. If it hadn’t been for the drag queens, I don’t know what we would have done”, Ruth said.

Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family’s plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.

For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the ‘Cemetery Angel’.”— by Ra-Ey Saley

whenever coriolanus talks about lucy gray in a i-want-to-grow-old-with-you-and-plant-roses-on-our-balcony-together way, and especially when he calls her his girl i feel like i’m listening to carolina by harry styles..like it just makes me so happy (even though there’s always the fact that i know he becomes a terrible person and the fact that after the tenth hunger games have been won there’s still nearly 300 pages more to go until the end of the book and at least 50 pages of those are going to be unbearable angst.. im only at the second page of part III pls pray for me)

sometimes you need to remind yourself that you’re a part of something bigger. you’ll step into the sun feeling like a ghost, but you will return with something new and hopeful stirring in you. maybe you need some time to sit under a shade of a big tree and do nothing else except feel a sense of connection and unexplainable fondness to that tree. maybe you need time to lie beside the stream and watch the way sunlight falls on water, thinking nothing except “how pretty...” feeling close to the earth and sky will remind you of how little your worries are. the trees and stars understand your solitude, and creatures and birds accept you as part of their landscape without asking anything of you. when you’re alone, nature reminds you that even if you are invisible and fleeting, your existence is a miracle and you’re part of the earth. you exist at the same time as the little black cat you saw in your garden and that alone connects you to them. you belong here, just as much as the sparrows and flowers do. you’re alive and you belong. everything else is so small and temporary.
