"In fact, I am so amazed by Beth's strength and positive attitude.
"She has told me repeatedly that if these are her last days on earth she wants to spend every moment with me on the hunt, living life to the fullest and enjoying the time we have left together.
I can't imagine a day without her and think deep down inside she is always concerned for my safety.
