      It's also the mother's ability of love; and how she takes things. She doesn't become defensive when she feels immense emotions, she doesn't lash out. Her mom is so beautiful and sweet honestly as a person; and then also very grounded and responsible

      Her mom died in 2014 due to lung infection and she died last June due to drug overdose when she went with her bf and stayed homeless tent. This teaches that we cannot rely on human beings for happiness, we need to filled with God's love which is in Christ that our body are temple for his holy spirit to dwell so we can walk in light and not be distracted by worldly pleasures and griefs. Everything is already inside of us...as Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is within you", I found God 3-4 years ago or I wouldnt be alive today, never looked back and never had deprerssion since, just peace and comfort from knowing he is with me even in despair and the world of death around me.
