It’s been close to a year since rap legend DMX passed and his fiancée Desiree Lindstrom is still feeling it. In an interview for It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper she said about their relationship and their son Exodus “I haven’t moved on. It’s hard, you know,” she said through tears. “It’s really hard. I just take it minute by minute. Some people say you could take it day by day, but it’s second by second. My life changed so fast [in] the blink of an eye. Holidays get lonely … because Earl was my family, but I do have Exodus and I try to make the best of it, because I know that’s what he would’ve wanted me to do.”
These days Lindstrom is currently in school to become an aesthetician and focusing on herself. She said “I just want to build myself to be a great mother to Exodus. I want him to see that he has a strong mother that can stand up on her own, and I’m just trusting in God through the process. I go up and down with emotions. I have to really force myself to keep it moving, keep going.”
In a touching moment Lindstrom said that especially holidays she felt “lonely,” as DMX “was my family.” And her son Exodus has a stage three kidney disease which adds another layer to things. “Sometimes it’s hard, just looking at him,” Lindstrom said. “He has so many different qualities of his father. So when I do shed a tear, he’ll be like, “Mommy, are you okay?” And I’ll say, “You just did something that was like your father.” And he’s like, “Mommy, it’s okay, daddy’s with God, he’s watching over us. He’s our angel.””
