"Have mercy Lord!!! I have been balling my eyes out
for the last hour! I can't deal with this! God knows I
can't! My husband in the movie 'Anchor Baby' gone
like that! I have never met a more positive guy in my
whole life! He's the most genuine, God fearing, lovable
character you'll ever meet. What is in this life now?
All the hustle! Over! Just like that! I'm MISERABLE!
God speed fam! Rest in the bosom of The Lord!
