Last Thursday, Malia and I were going to the store. While we were in the car I sang to her in my crazy voice, making up my own crazy song. I stopped and asked her, "Mally? Do you have a crazy aunt?"
She giggled, rolled her eyes and said "Yeah!"
"who?"
She laughed again and said, "You Court!"
And, to double check, I said,"But you still love me right?"
"Of course I do Court!" she then continued with, "I will always love you, even if we are far away."
Deciding to make a joke out of it, and make it into something that only I could laugh about, I asked her "Like Idaho?" (one of the farthest places she had been, as well as the one she left for this morning.)
She ddn't hesitate to come up with this answer, "Yes Court, and even St. George" (one of the other places she's been), "Even if we're staying at the same place but in different rooms, I'll still love you."
Now laughing, all I could get out was, "Really?"
She didn't laugh this time, in fact this was a completely serious matter for her, "Yeah, I will always love you Court, forever." Now, this would've been my aww moment,but then of course, she had to say something that was hilarious after that, to unintentionally make me laugh. "And Court, You know what? If you are far away I will always be with you."
To see if she even knew what she was saying I decided to test her, "How will you always be with me even if I'm far away?"
I completely expected her to somehow relate this to what we had taught her about the holy ghost, saying something like, 'you will just feel me in your heart' or 'you won't be able to see me, but I'll be there'. But she suprised me with something else, "Court It's easy, all you have to do is say a prayer that you will have a dream that we play together." I burst out in laughter as she fighted her point saying, "Court, it's true! Heavenly Father can do that, he really can!"
Hahahahah I love that girl so much! I'm really sad that she is in Idaho until Friday...but at least I know she still loves me, even when she's somewhere so "far".
