What would you take with you in case of a fire, and most importantly... Why exactly is this episode/ series called "balcony bound"?

We go looking for God when we're going through something. When my grandmother got cancer, my mom searched for God, for some sort of sign to let us know if she'll be okay. This story is about the messages from God my mom received and how she got through a really tough time. Years later, it's like we're still getting messages from my Giagia Matina that she's still looking out for us too.
