EXCLUSIVE: 'I saw Whitney and Bobby Brown smoke crack in front of their daughter when she was five.' Houston's driver reveals drug horror childhood of Bobbi Kristina as family prepare to say goodbye
There are reports that Bobbi Kristina was taken off life support ... but TMZ has been told by sources close to the family that these claims are absolutely false.
We are also told that Bobbi Kristina's grandmother Cissy, has still not seen her but plans are in place to get her to Emory University Hospital as soon as possible.

Doctors Tell Bobby Brown It's Time To Let Bobbi Kristina Go. Should Bobby Brown pull the life support or should he wait?
The five-year-old girl jumped around on the back seat of the limo playing excitedly with her favorite doll.
On either side of her sat the child's parents - superstar singer Whitney Houston and husband Bobby Brown.
It should have been a moment to cherish for the family as they were ferried to the airport in a stretch limo.
But for a young Bobbi Kristina it was to be a defining experience – one of many during her childhood - that would start her off on a destructive path that would have a profound effect on her life.
As her daughter played beside her, Houston took hold of a thin pipe filled with crack cocaine and put it to her lips.
As she did so she told young Bobbi: 'Baby, calm down, Mommy and Daddy are doing adult things'.
The disturbing moment in 1998 came as Houston was gripped by a drug addiction and openly smoked crack in front of Bobbi.

Emotional: The 45-year-old singer looked distraught as he walking towards the hospital with his wife
Tragic vigil: Bobbi Kristina is in this hospital in Atlanta, where her family have gathered
Today Bobbi, now 21, is in hospital in a medically induced coma after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in Roswell, Georgia following what some fear was a drug overdose.
Her family are at her bedside, preparing for the worst.
Bobbi's famous mother Houston died in a bathtub from an 'accidental' drug overdose almost exactly three years ago, in tragically similar circumstances.
The exact cause of Bobbi's incident is currently unknown, but police are investigating the situation at her home while she recovers in hospital.
They found drugs in the house after a second search of the property she shared with Nick Gordon, who she called her husband.
The death of her mother left Bobbi distraught, and this is not the first time emergency services have had to intervene.
Sadly, for Bobbi, the writing was on the wall for her following a lifetime of drug taking and personal turmoil.
Al Bowman, Houston's chauffeur who witnessed one of Bobbi's first experiences of drugs as a five-year-old has told Daily Mail Online how he feared for her growing up.
He said: 'Bobbi always wanted to be just like her mom and now it seems she may have followed in her footsteps.
'It's heart-breaking, a real tragedy. This young girl was raised in a world no child should live in.'
Bowman says he drove Houston for two decades and witnessed first hand the singer's spiral into a drug-fueled meltdown before and after her daughter was born.
In love: Bobbi Kristina posted this picture on social media to tell her followers she was 'so in love' with Nick Gordon and that the couple have married. Lawyers for her father say she is not legally married.
He watched helplessly as Houston and husband Bobby Brown became wasted in the back almost daily.
Bowman also recalls driving Houston into rundown ghettos in Los Angeles to meet shady drug dealers so the star could score more drugs.
But when Houston's drug abuse became so severe that she openly smoked crack in front of her young daughter Bobbi, Bowman knew she had crossed a line.
'I couldn't believe it, it was heart-breaking, out of control,' he said.
'Whitney was a complete train wreck. I couldn't bear seeing her daughter sat there in amongst it all, it was so sad.
'I wanted to help her but Whitney was just too out of control and wouldn't listen to anyone.'
Bowman recalls how that day he had picked up Houston, her husband Bobby Brown and their daughter Bobbi from their LA home and drove them to the airport.

He said: 'It's very difficult to forget. I remember arriving at their house, putting their luggage in the car.
'Whitney looked grey and pasty. She could hardly talk because she'd been on some kind of bender for a couple of days. And the kid had obviously witnessed this as it was happening in the house.
'I just remember very vividly Whitney saying, "Good to see you" to me, but she could hardly talk.
'Then I said, 'Hi Bobbi' to her daughter and she came up and hugged me and then she looked up at me – you know how little children kind of give you that reverent look.
'It was like she was thinking: 'Thank God a normal person is here'. It was so sad.
'And I just thought to myself how horrible it was that this kid had to witness this stuff.'
Bowman said that during the limo ride Bobby Brown offered Houston some crack cocaine as a 'pick you up' - while little Bobbi jumped up and down on the seats.
'He [Bobby Brown] had brought it [crack] with him. He had a skinny pipe. He seemed like he was okay, it was her health that was really affected.
'He seemed like he was used to it, like he could handle it. He was giving it to her.
'He was offering it to her and the kid was in the car. He was like, "Do you need something to pick you up baby?"
'The kid was on the jump seat jumping around, which was fine. But Bobby was like, "Calm down, sit down".
'I said, "that's alright she's a little kid, she can jump around", but he yelled: "She ain't your kid."
'I just couldn't wait to get the run over with especially as there was this smell of butane, human breath and sweat.'
At the height of her fame in the 1980s and 90s, Houston was one of the world's best-selling artists. But within years her descent into a drug-addled hell saw the hits dry up – and her millions swallowed up by ruthless dealers.
It is thought Houston blew a $100million fortune feeding her habit.
Bowman, 56, first drove around Houston with her mentor Clive Davis at the height of her fame in the mid-80s and back then, he says, she was a 'sweet girl'.
'Husband': Nick Gordon with Bobbi Kristina in 2012. He was her unofficial foster brother and went on to become her apparent husband, although lawyers for Bobby Brown say his daughter has not legally married

But as the years rolled by and Bowman drove the superstar more he says her transformation was astonishing and behavior affected everyone around her including her daughter.
'Things took a turn for the worse when she met Bobby Brown in the early 90s. They started smoking crack in the back of the limo.
'One time it got a little crazy back there, they were smoking and all of a sudden the limo is on fire. I pulled over and got the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
'It turns out they were free-basing crack, it was like a crack lab in the back of the limo.'
'Free-basing' is a street term for burning purified cocaine and inhaling the fumes.
In a brutally honest interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston finally admitted for the first time that she was addicted to crack in the 90s after marrying R&B star Brown.
She even admitted she spent seven months living in her pajamas while hooked on the killer drug.
And it was this behavior that was to be part of her only daughter Bobbi's childhood.
Bowman, who stopped driving Huston in 2003, added: 'You just know this stuff is passed on, I don't mean through DNA, it's passed on through behavioral influence and I just thought this poor kid doesn't stand a chance,' he said.
'This kid is gonna witness this her entire life.'
Bowman, who now lives in Las Vegas, said he was not surprised when he saw the breaking news that Bobbi had been found unconscious in a bathtub.
Disturbing: Al Bowman saw a 'cute' kid exposed to the horrors of two-drug using parents
'I suppose I always knew she would have problems later in life,' he said.
'She was such a cute kid she was an adorable little child.
'In the end it looks like she may have followed in her mother's footsteps, it's tragic.'
As she grew older drugs seemed an every day part of life for Bobbi.
A child star by virtue of whom her parents were when she was growing Bobbi desperately clung to the spotlight.
With dreams of becoming a singer herself, Bobbi was rumored to have been working with Houston on several tracks together just before she died in 2012.
And anxious to become a star Bobbi was also keen to pursue several reality TV opportunities that came the family's way - 'Houstons: On Our Own' is just one example.
But drugs and trouble were never long out of the picture.
Just last July a disturbing photo of Bobbi doing drugs turned up on Instagram, which she later denied posting.
The snap showed Bobbi lighting up what appeared to be a bong.

The caption read: 'This picture may be inappropriate but I want to make a connection with you all. Don't worry this picture isn't recent just hear me out. Do you know what I feel? I feel strange that I can't feel any pain anymore.
'I don't take any drugs as of recently. Things just happened. But then there is some situation that force me to do things and the impact I'll feel pain. I did and I do. I was hurt.'
It continued: 'People kinda expect more from me. But I can't. I have lost my sense. It just happened. Then here we go again I'm in the same pain. I'm hurt. I'm trying to. I really do.
' But I know that I'm hurt and in pain but I can feel it but I don't know what it is. What do I really do? God, Help me ignore and rebuke what these demons are saying, in Jesus Name. Amen.'
Sadly, reports about Bobbi's drug use have never been long out of the headlines.
There were even reports that Bobbi and Houston shared a drug dealer before she died.
The Daily Beast reported in 2012 that Bobbi was found getting high after her mother's funeral.
Aged 15, Bobbi reportedly tried to stab her mother in March 2008, before attempting to slit her own wrists, and, was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric ward.
On her 18th birthday, Bobbi was allegedly seen doing cocaine, which she vehemently denies, as well as after her mother's funeral and memorial service.
Throughout her teens Bobbi displayed a rebellious streak - unsurprising, considering the years of substance abuse and domestic violence she witnessed as a child.
Her ex-boyfriend Zach Jafarzadeh, witnessed this first hand and said her parents enabled her drug and alcohol habits.
He told the National Enquirer: 'I've tried to stop her, but all she said was: "I'm just like my mother."
'It was difficult to stop her from buying alcohol and drugs because her mother gave her $1,000 a week. I saw Krissi do an eight ball - an eighth of an ounce - of cocaine in just two days with friends. One time Whitney bought a case of beer for Krissi and her friends to drink in front of her. I couldn't believe it!'
A photo of Bobbi allegedly snorting cocaine appeared alongside Jafarzadeh's quotes.
The snap was taken when she was 17 snorting cocaine while partying at a friend's house in Alpherata, Georgia, where she lived with her Grammy-winning mother.
And when Bobbi starred alongside other members of her family in the reality series: 'Houstons: On Our Own,' which capitalized on the interest in the family following Whitney's death, the then-19-year-old was seen frequently drinking on camera and inebriated.
Today Bobbi is still in a medically-induced coma and family members say she is breathing with the help of a ventilator.
Her family has confirmed that drugs were found in her home following her near drowning.
Family sources told TMZ that officers found the narcotics while conducting a second, more thorough search.
Records have also revealed Maxwell Byron Lomas, who was with Bobbi on the day she was found unconscious in the bath tub, had been arrested just a month before for drug distribution.
He was taken into custody on January 14 and later released on $15,000 bond, according to Fulton County Jail records.
Lomas, 24, of Duluth, Georgia, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of Alprazolam - also known as Xanax - and possession of firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ they believed from the beginning Bobbi ended up face down in a bathtub as a result of drugs.
Now her family will fear that her scarred childhood has taken a dreadful toll.

There's nothing more doctors can do for Bobbi Kristina -- and they've told Bobby Brown it's time to withdraw life support ... TMZ has learned.
Family sources tell us the decision is now in Brown's hands -- but we're told he's refusing to make the painful choice today, and instead wants to wait until after the weekend.
The timing could not have been worse. Today is Bobby Brown's birthday.
We're told Brown has been hopeful his daughter can beat the odds because someone in his extended family battled out of a coma after 8 days.
Bobbi Kristina was moved to Emory University Hospital Tuesday because the facility has a world class neurological department, but it appears doctors have determined there's no hope.
Bobbi Kristina has been in a medically-induced coma since Saturday, when she was found face down in her bathtub.

Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has confirmed that drugs were found in her home following her near drowning, as police records reveal she spent the day with a friend who was previously charged with drug dealing.
As Whitney Houston's daughter continues to fight for life in an Atlanta hospital, family sources told TMZ that officers found the narcotics while conducting a second, more thorough search.

Lomas, 24, of Duluth, Georgia, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of Alprazolam - also known as Xanax - and possession of firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ they believed from the beginning Bobbi Kristina ended up face down in a bathtub as a result of drugs.
Lomas and Bobby Kristina's husband, Nick Gordon have been friends for the past two years. His 18-year-old girlfriend Danyela Bradley had also become a close friend of Bobbi Kristina.
Lomas was at the couple's Roswell, Georgia home on Saturday morning when Gordon found his wife unconscious in the bath tub and called 911.
In his latest mugshot Lomas is seen wearing a hoodie, but records show he has previously arrested in connection to drugs, firearms and alcohol, plus a probation violation.
In June 2011, he was drinking alcohol and firing shotguns into the air with a group of friends at the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area in Dawsonville.
After police saw the group of young men, authorities investigated and allegedly found nearly four ounces of marijuana in bags.

The 21-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston is fighting for her life, her family has revealed in a statement.
'Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life and is surrounded by immediate family,' the Houston family wrote in a statement released on Monday afternoon.
'As her father already stated, we are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time. Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and we greatly appreciate your continued support.'
On Tuesday, it emerged that she was able to move her eyes when doctors tested her brain activity, and the amount of oxygen going to her brain has significantly increased, TMZ reported.
But she could still have suffered permanent injuries after being in the bathtub for between two to four minutes without oxygen, according to the reports. She remains on a ventilator.
It comes after doctors reportedly told her family on Monday to 'prepare for the worst'.

'It doesn't look good': Family reveal their fears for Bobbi Kristina as she fights for life in a coma {VIDEO}
Bobbi Kristina Brown has not shown much improvement since being rushed to the hospital on Saturday, January 31.
As we previously reported, the 21-year old only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home face down in a bathtub.
TMZ reports that paramedics responded to a drowning call. When they arrived Bobbi's husband Nick Gordon was administering CPR. Gordon found his wife at around 10 a.m. She was rushed to North Fulton Hospital where she was placed in a medically induced coma. She has since been moved to a hospital in Atlanta.
Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina
Neurologist Eli Zimmerman of Massachusetts General Hospital told PEOPLE that the amount of time Bobbi's brain was without oxygen is critical.
The reason for putting Bobbi into an induced coma is to keep down the amount of energy the brain needs, according to Zimmerman.
"In some patients, the body temperature is dropped slightly to reduce energy requirements even more, though this is generally only done for 24 hours," he said.
Various media outlets have cited anonymous hospital sources as saying it would be a miracle if Bobbi pulls through. If she does hospitalization will be extended for a long period of time combined with months of rehabilitation.
According to TMZ, doctors were encouraged Monday, February 2, by slight brain function improvement Bobbi showed when they administered a different stimuli, but warn the situation remains grim.
Her family has started making funeral arrangements.
Bobby Brown issued a statement asking for privacy.
“The report that Bobbi Kristina Brown has been taken to the hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, is accurate. No additional information will be forthcoming. Privacy is requested in this matter. Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time.”

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina in a coma after being found 'face down in a bath tub' days before third anniversary of her mother's eerily similar death
The daughter of the late Whitney Houston remains in medically-induced coma today after she was found face down in a bath tub in a scene tragically reminiscent of her own mother's 'accidental' drug-overdose death.
And now sources close to Bobbi Kristina Brown are expressing little hope of a recovery.
'It doesn't look good,' a source told Entertainment Tonight.
That same source revealed to the TV show that it's 'no coincidence' that the 21-year-old was rushed to the hospital so close to the third anniversary of her mother's death and that her troubles are 'a lot deeper than everyone can see'.
'We don’t think Bobbi Kristina is going to pull through,' another source told Hollywood Life.

'Obviously we all know her mom died this very same way,' said Lisa Holland of the Roswell PD.

She added that nobody knows what caused her collapse but that, police are talking to friends and family and obtaining a search warrant so they can look through the residence.
'We don't know if this was a medical condition where she had a problem in the tub or if it was any type of self-initiated or overdose type of situation,' Holland admitted.
Police were last called to the home on January 23rd after a 'reported fight,' but officers found no one home when they arrived.
Anniversary looming:
'She's been through a lot, you know what I'm saying. This is a hard time, it's her mother's anniversary of her death. It's been a hard time, it's a rough time of year,' Jerod Brown, who said he was Bobbi Kristina Brown's first cousin, told NBC News.
'But she's a tiger, she's going to pull through it.'
He then added; 'Kris has been doing well, working out. She's been in the gym, doing cardio. ... Swimming a lot, getting her vocals right for this album that she's about to come out with.'
Another cousin, YF Kennedy, told E! News; 'Krissi doesn't do drugs. She hasn't been drinking or doing drugs and she's cut down on cigarettes. She's been trying to get her music together and keep her voice clean. Her voice is so beautiful.'
Kennedy also said; 'She's still been going through the grieving stages but is trying to keep her spirits up. She's been going to the gym every day with her husband and trying to be happy. She swims a lot.'
'Kris has been doing well, working out. She's been in the gym, doing cardio. ... Swimming a lot, getting her vocals right for this album that she's about to come out with,' said Bobbi's cousin
On January 26th, Whitney's daughter made reference to the upcoming anniversary with an emotional tweet.
She posted: 'Littlelady & yourgrowing young man @nickgordon miss you mommy so much...loving you more every sec, #Anniversary!'
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey about her mother’s death in March 2012, Bobbi said: ‘It’s so surreal sometimes. I still walk in the house and call her name.
‘She’s always with me. I can always feel her with me.
‘She used to say, “Do you need me?” and I would say, “I always need you.’”
In a heart-wrenching admission, Bobbi said she can’t bring herself to listen to her mother’s songs. ‘I can hear her voice telling me to keep moving, baby – I gotcha.
Her mother Whitney died on February 11th, 2012 hours before she was due to attend a pre Grammy Awards party.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office later confirmed the I Will Always Love You hitmaker passed away as a result of drowning and 'effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use'.
The cause of Bobbi’s incident is currently unknown, but local police are investigating the situation at her home while she recovers in hospital.
The death of her mother left Bobbi distraught, and this is not the first time emergency services have had to intervene.

Indeed just two days after the first anniversary of Whitney's death, Bobbi was pictured being taken from her then home in Los Angeles on a stretcher appearing unconscious.
She was hospitalised for treatment, after mixing alcohol with a sedative.
Even before Whitney died Bobbi was the subject of rumours as to her alleged use of drugs.
In March 2011 Bobbi took to Twitter to deny claims she had checked into rehab after pictures surfaced that allegedly showed her snorting lines of cocaine.
At the time her mother was said to have desperately pushed the teenager to seek treatment soon after, with no success.
'Excuse me,' Bobbi Kristina tweeted, 'but I’d like to say that I am NOT going to rehab? I’m perfectly healthy and I am not addicted to anything but life.'
The National Enquirer, which published the scandalous pictures, reported that Whitney had attempted an intervention of sorts.
Further pictures published by the tabloid in March 2012 shortly after Whitney's death showed Bobbi apparently using a three-foot bong to smoke marijuana.

A recent Lifetime biopic of Whitney focused heavily on her drug use, received mixed reviews from viewers.
Bobbi did not comment on the movie after it aired earlier this month, although she had expressed her displeasure in advance.
Her grandmother Cissy was the most outspoken, angrily objecting to the movie even being made.
'Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family's objections,' the bereaved mother said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight in June.
'No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby.'

After her mother's death, Bobbi began a relationship with Nick who was described as like being a brother to her as she grew up.
The couple married in January 2014 but faced criticism after it emerged they had shared a home since before they were teens.
But they have insisted they are not blood related and are not even connected in any family way as Gordon was never adopted by Houston.
In late January Nick told Extra the jabs 'put a fire in us' and added: 'The critics can say whatever they want to say… it's like we have a force field and that s**t's just bouncing off of it.'
The two became friends when Whitney asked Nick, who was going through a rough time, to move in with them when he was only 12 years old.

But the relationship heightened a rift between her and her grandmother, Cissy who she fell out with when the matriach announced plans to write a book about her tragic daughter's life.
And in July 2013, Cissy penned an open letter to her granddaughter airing her concerns about her well-being.
She wrote: Krissi, all I want for you is your good health and your happiness.
'Do I want you to get married in the near future? No, I don't. I think you're too young and I wish you'd wait.
'But that's because I'm Grandma," she continues. 'I'm supposed to worry about you. I'm supposed to wonder if Nick or ANY man is good enough for you, My Baby's Baby.'

Desperate for news: Members of the press and public anxious for updates Whitney's daughter's condition
At a press conference outside the hospital on Saturday afternoon Holland confirmed 'she is still alive and breathing. Other than that, I don't know her condition.'
She added that nobody knows what caused her collapse but that, police are talking to friends and family and obtaining a search warrant so they can look through the residence.
'We don't know that if it was an accident or what this could be,' Holland admitted.
Police were last called to the home on January 23rd after a 'reported fight,' but officers found no one home when they arrived.
TMZ reported on Saturday: 'We've also learned police executed a search warrant on the home this afternoon, and we're told no drugs were found.'
I Will Always Love You: Bobbi tweeted an emotional message to her dead mother on January 26th
Anniversary looming:
'She's been through a lot, you know what I'm saying. This is a hard time, it's her mother's anniversary of her death. It's been a hard time, it's a rough time of year,' Jerod Brown, who said he was Bobbi Kristina Brown's first cousin, told NBC News.
'But she's a tiger, she's going to pull through it.'
He then added; 'Kris has been doing well, working out. She's been in the gym, doing cardio. ... Swimming a lot, getting her vocals right for this album that she's about to come out with.'
On January 26th, Whitney's daughter made reference to the upcoming anniversary with an emotional tweet.
She posted: Littlelady & yourgrowing young man @nickgordon miss you mommy so much...loving you more every sec, #Anniversary!'
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey about her mother’s death in March 2012, Bobbi said: ‘It’s so surreal sometimes. I still walk in the house and call her name.
‘She’s always with me. I can always feel her with me.
‘She used to say, “Do you need me?” and I would say, “I always need you.’”
In a heart-wrenching admission, Bobbi said she can’t bring herself to listen to her mother’s songs. ‘I can hear her voice telling me to keep moving, baby – I gotcha.
Her mother Whitney died on February 11th, 2012 hours before she was due to attend a pre Grammy Awards party.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office later confirmed the I Will Always Love You hitmaker passed away as a result of drowning and 'effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use'.
The cause of Bobbi’s incident is currently unknown, but local police are investigating the situation at her home while she recovers in hospital.
The death of her mother left Bobbi distraught, and this is not the first time emergency services have had to intervene.

Indeed just two days after the first anniversary of Whitney's death, Bobbi was pictured being taken from her then home in Los Angeles on a stretcher appearing unconscious.
She was hospitalised for treatment, after mixing alcohol with a sedative.
Even before Whitney died Bobbi was the subject of rumours as to her alleged use of drugs.
In March 2011 Bobbi took to Twitter to deny claims she had checked into rehab after pictures surfaced that allegedly showed her snorting lines of cocaine.

Were here to Love one another, "share" with one another, have "compassion" for one another ," forgive" each one another, Fix the earth and conquer evil because at the end, Forgiveness and Goodness always Prevails.
@Roots God Bless you for eternity. I felt your pain, You I and many others have reason to rejoice now, in God and Jesus, You have a testimony that should be told, sometimes we have to open up and put ourselves out there our experiences in order to help in someway. Its all good though its not that serious as long as you retain God in your Knowledge. Theres a lot of living proof testimonials around the world, some haven't been told yet.
WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE BORN SINNERS AND WHOSE SALVATION LIES IN THE ACCEPTANCE AND OPINIONS OF OTHERS. WE ARE REALLY SPIRITUAL BEINGS WHO ARE HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE. IT'S THE JOURNEY. A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM THE CREATOR IN GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE. WE WERE ALL PLACED HERE FOR A SPECIAL REASON, WITH A PURPOSE. ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALL BLINDED BY FALSE DOCTRINES, SEEK AND DISCOVER WHAT GOD SENT YOU HERE TO ACHIEVE. IT'S THAT DISCOVERY THAT WILL GIVE YOU PEACE, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY AND A REASON TO LIVE. THAT'S WHAT THIS HUMAN JOURNEY IS ALL ABOUT. THE DRUGS YOU USE ARE PURPOSELY IMPOSED ON YOU BY EVIL DOERS (d○-evil) TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A SIMULATED SHORT TERM HIGH AND TO TURN YOU AWAY FROM YOUR TRUE OBJECTIVE/PURPOSE, YOUR MISSION FROM GOD: THAT WHICH WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A LONG LASTING HIGH OF BEING TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH YOUR LIFE. DID YOU FORGET WHAT IT IS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS GOD GAVE YOU BEFORE HE TRANSFERRED THE BREATH OF LIFE TO YOU? NO WORRIES FOR THE CREATOR GIVE YOU ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOICES TO DISCOVER WHAT IT IS. IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU TO MAKE THE JOURNEY HARD OR EASY, LONG OR SHORT. SEEK OUT YOUR PURPOSE. START TODAY. DON'T MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU WERE BLESSED WITH. ..........DON'T WASTE AWAY YOUR LIFE FOR what will you report to the creator when you return home?
lolz @Roots but seriously They say when you're in a coma, you're really in the spirit world, could her spirit be either in heaven or hell she gots to be in one. what y'all think?
Im thankful because I didn't stay on crack and I didn't die and then I would be phucked if I went to God for judgement that way, All high like that and what not. lol
Thank you jamella, Im glad too. That was some mission and the root of my problem was that I felt my family didn't love me because of neglect and other issues you wouldn't believe, The whole time in my experience I had retained God in my Knowledge and I had faith in my self without needing anyone to have faith in me. Always read the bible when I smoked crack it actually was talking to me. it blew my mind, anyway, I learned to forgive both my transgressors and most important forgive myself, love myself even if no one else did. Everybodys situation is different, I don't know her story but if I just knew as much as what was going on in the last month b4 it escalated to this, I would be able to figure it out quickly what happened to her, for real. This child should have been doing more constructive things with her life, she should have been wasting time on learning the business, getting connections,that would further her in whatever she felt like excelling on. but she was clueless, no one taught her anything and she was alone and probley felt she wasn't fulfilling anything career wise or relationship wise or any other wise. smh
