I wish you guys could understand. This guy dying would be like Spock dying. Or Robt. Kennedy being murdered. He is so scary smart, generous, and loving but an altogether needy individual. He jumped right in and saved me from drowning many times. He has a 6th sense that is amazing. I like to believe I’ve helped him in my small way. He gets totally irate with me posting stuff about him. At this point, I don’t care. I just want him well. I’ll take being chewed out by him to see he lives, easily. Please everyone, keep praying and crossing fingers. I don’t want him to die. Beck💕 ---
