Happiness

From episode 9 of Season 4, The Good Wife:

Mom: I m happy…….I never do anything I don't want to.
Alicia: I m happy, I can say I m living the life I want. There are lot of things bigger than----
Mom: The older you get, the more you realize, there’s only one thing. Happiness.

Haven’t finished season 4.

Unfortunately from spoilers I know what will happen next.

Later, she will never see him again.
