“I said Bro, it hasn’t gotten to that; we can settle this without the world knowing. He looked me in the eyes and said what do you mean, since December?
“I’m dying gradually, and you’re telling me not to tell the world? If I die you will be the one to tell the world my story then, he died the next day.”
