Typical conversation with the Little Miss....
I picked her up from dance today and on our short two and a half minute drive from dance to her friends house to play, it went something like this:
Little Miss: "Oh, goodness. I almost forgot Tayla's name. They never come visit and I haven't seen her in a really long time and I almost forgot her name."
Me: "You could never forget your cousins names, could you?"
Her: "Well, I want to go visit her again. But I don't like her cat, because he scratches me."
"Sis, her cat died, so I guess you don't have to worry about that anymore."
"Oh man...I wish that I could've just given him one more pet. Does it hurt to die?"
"I don't know, but I don't think so. I've never died before."
"I wish I could ask Grandma if it hurt to die. But I can't ask her because she's already dead. She's already in heaven. Sometimes I miss people a lot. Like I missed you while I was at dance. And I missed you while you were gone on your trip. That's kind of why I freak out and get all excited when I see people that I haven't seen for a really long time. I'm really going to freak out when I see Grandma. I think I'm going to have to wait a long time before I get to see her again."
She talks about her grandma almost every single day....I love her perspective and thoughts on life!

My mother-in-law passed away 5 years ago. My girls were very close to her. They talk about her all the time and miss her. I am very thankful for the discussions we have been able to have and the testimony we have been able to share when talking about death. I love little quiet mommy/child moments like your chat in the car.
Holly, that is so sweet, Claudette had such a special bond with all her grandchildren that they remember and talk about her often. It will be such a beautiful day when we can meet with her again. Yes and little Miss will be filled with excitement. Love ya guys!
Gotta love Little Miss! Tayla misses her too. :) Maybe if we homeschool we can make our own spring breaks and get together. For sure at Aspen Grove and the Brimhall reunion in the summer. :)
What a precious moment! Thank you for sharing that with me! I think about her everyday to. Love you guys!!!
