When Fear Wore Gloves and Love Walked Barefoot
Three nurses drew straws outside a hospital room in 1986. The loser would have to enter. Inside lay Jimmy, a young man dying of AIDS, alone behind biohazard tape. As the reluctant nurse approached in full protective gear, Ruth Coker Burks walked past her and took Jimmy's hand-no gloves, no hesitation. In that moment, a young single mother from Hot Springs, Arkansas became something she never planned to be: the last comfort for hundreds of dying men abandoned by everyone else. When Jimmy's mother coldly told Ruth, "They're yours now," she couldn't have known she was speaking a truth that would define the next decade. Ruth buried Jimmy's ashes in a cookie jar at her father's grave under moonlight, whispering promises she didn't yet understand. What followed wasn't heroism in the traditional sense-it was something more profound: ordinary human decency in a time when touching someone with AIDS was considered a death sentence.
