What do you do when your daughter lies dying in a hospital bed? How do you pray when she looks at you to say, "Mommy, I want to die and go to heaven and be with Jesus where there is no pain ... you would kill yourself and go with me"?
Christy Beam's heart broke in that moment.
"I felt sick, felt like throwing up," Beam says. "What that meant to me wasn't the loss of me, too, but it meant she had processed it, that Daddy will be here to take care of other girls, they will be fine. She wasn't going to go without me. It wasn't a fleeting thought, it was a thought she had taken to process the execution ... It terrified me."
Now, the Beam's story is hitting the big screen, with Jennifer Garner portraying Christy and Kylie Rodgers taking on the role of Annabel, though Annabel herself would have preferred Selena Gomez.
