Chapters
When I lost Fofi, I was talking to the priest who changed my life forever, and I remember telling him, like, I'm working so hard and being a good Christian, a good person, doing acts of service, trying to earn heaven because I want it. I desperately needed to see my daughter again, and the only way I know how to do that is by going to heaven so that we may meet once more. And he looked at me and he was like, love is free. You don't need to do all these things to earn God's love. God's love is unconditional. It's not to earn heaven, it's to choose it. Doing all the right things because you choose his path, you choose the light, you choose the way, you choose love, you choose God.
