My Dad's funeral was little over a month ago, he died very suddenly. He had HIV and didnt know, but he died of pneumonia but the infection killed him because of HIV.
A friend from university of DH and I is in the area for the bank holiday, he is round this evening with his fiancé (who I've only met briefly once before). We had a BBQ and they are having a few drinks with DH, I can't because I am pregnant.
The kids are in bed so we decided to put on a film, DH turned the Xbox on and gave it to our friend and his fiancé to choose something on Netflix or love film while he and I do some washing up.
DH comes back into the living room and friend's fiancé says "oh look xxx it's Philadelphia, that's that film that you keep getting me to watch we should watch it." My friend replies "well yeah we could" and then they ask DH who hasn't watched it either who says yes because he likes TOM Hanks is loads of other films.
I get called in when movie is put on and sit down and realise what we are watching. It's a film about a man in a law firm who has HIV and eventually dies from this. DH doesn't realise what happens at the end, but my friend does because he has watched it. He knows what has happened with my dad because I was telling him about it over the phone and got quite upset today while he was here when I was talking about the funeral.
Now I'm sitting here on the ipad trying not to pay much attention to the film because I know it will upset me and feel sorry for DH because he is going to be horrified he agreed to watch it when he realises what happens. I'm a bit upset that my friend has been really thoughtless.
