The movie Straw was deeper than it seemed
You really had to pay attention. When Janiyah’s mom called asking why the FBI was at her house and what she was doing robbing a bank, it all started to unravel. As Janiyah tried to explain, you realize she had already mentally checked out long before. The moment she was shown at the school supposedly dropping off her daughter, something felt off. That was why the principal looked at her so strangely
Her daughter had already passed.
She was suffering from something like *phantom life syndrome* still following routines from a life that no longer existed. She couldn’t let go, and in her mind, her daughter was still alive. When the flashbacks showed her crying over the empty hospital bed, it made sense; she knew her daughter was gone, but her mind just couldn’t accept it. The grief was too much. Her daughter’s death was the final blow the last straw.
That’s the thing about grief. It doesn’t just break you, it rearranges you. And sometimes, you don’t even realize how far gone someone is until it’s too late.

Jesus died for us all after living a perfect life. He didn't deserve to die because he never sinned but we do bc we always sin. But bc of Jesus we no longer are sentenced to death. Time is running out get right with God! Jesus is coming!
