Abstract This remembrance of a dead lover is explored through the physical items kept by Robert Vazquez-Pacheco. He contextualizes his relationship in the New York City gay, HIV scene of the early 1980s. In this memorial, Vazquez-Pacheco reflects on the possibilities lost, and the impact of these losses on his current life. Through this exploration, Vazquez-Pacheco is able to show the personal and communal grief that frames a generation of GLTBQ people.
