(Newser) – The night before Whitney Houston died, Bobbi Kristina Brown asked her mother to stay with her. "I slept in her arms all day, all night long," Brown told Oprah Winfrey last night. In her first interview since Houston's death, Brown called her mother "my everything," the AP reports. "She's always with me," Brown added. "Her spirit is strong, it's a strong spirit. I feel her pass through me all the time."

"Sometimes, it's so surreal. I still walk into the house like, 'Mom?'" Brown said. "But I've accepted it," and she's now "doing as good as I possibly can," she said. "It comes in waves. One moment I can be happy and laughing, but then it comes over me." Pat Houston, Whitney Houston's manager and sister-in-law, also spoke to Oprah, recalling how she "heard screams" as she walked down the hall to Houston's room. She also said she didn't know how Houston got into the bathtub where she was found, the Huffington Post notes. Click to watch that portion of the interview.

This SOB story about sleeping in her mom's arms seems like a bunch of BS;I thought Whitney was out boozing it up with her friends and getting into trouble at the time that this sleeping story was supposed to be taking place. I assume that Bobbi Krintina and Oprah are hoping that this trash makes for a good read.

We've all lost someone and we all know it hurts so why do we have to listen to someone saying what we have all felt.  She's no different from 310 million Americans or 7 billion earth dwellers so end this self-pitying.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! I have it on good authority that Bobbi Kristina was actually trying to find out were her mother's stash was. Trust Oprah to wring as much out of this "story" as possible. Next thing you know Oprah will have a ouija board out with the Rev. Al, Michael's dad, and other assorted "celebrities" attempting to cross over to the other side in order to contact Whitney.
