Up to this time, I never had any problem hearing her pray. I used to get a great joy out of listening to her sweet little voice asking God to bless everyone she knew on this earth. I would delight in hearing her ask God for the little things that a little girl wants for herself.

On this night however, she was very quiet. Her prayers were more somber and  she seemed more serious about prayer. I listened as hard as a mother can possibly listen but to no avail.

Finally I said "Honey, I can't hear you."

She looked up at me and with a soft sweet voice said, "That's ok Mommy, I'm not talking to you."

With that, she went back to her prayers. I held back my laughter and just continued praying with my little angel.
