You disgust me! You have no idea who Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix is. You have no idea what it is like to live in Mexico the oldest of 11 brothers and sisters to support. Frankie went to work at 5.
He is an intelligent man who made the best of what was given to him.
He is the light at the center of my universe. I love him, always and forever. I will stand by him until my last breath.
