Just chillin with "Byrd" / Petri Hawkins Byrd from Judge Judy 👍today. Although I'm resting and taking it easy today, I made a special quick trip downtown so I could spend a little time with this amazing man! I wanted to share with him some remedies that I'm doing to fight my cancer, so he could share with his wife. He's amazing! We spent quite a bit of time talking privately, and sharing. As his wife is battling brain cancer, please keep her in your prayers. 🙏🙏 I showed him all your comments
