“When people ask what takes so long, honestly, real life just kept happening to me,” she said. “I was in a hotel for a while. It was a nice one, don’t get me wrong. This isn’t a complaint or me whining. God is amazing, and He keeps covering me so don’t take it the wrong way. Two aunts died in one day, one from both sides, and then double back to my Uncle Larry really being murdered, for lack of better words.
“In the hotel, she [Laiyah] was sleeping in the bed with me. And to come into this kind of space, she’s slowly working herself into staying in her room, and I’m definitely not pressuring her in any way. God is always on time because coming from tight quarters like that into this, you just never know where life may take you.
“I will say this about the hotel — the smaller space, it helps you to really get reacquainted and to be really in tune with each other. I got back into all of their favorite shows.”
