Introducing... "Jada Montana!"


The TaluMattheLacanVega cousins. Joli was giving the directions, "Now, everyone look cute!"



Cute Story


So, in line with the "interesting questions of Joli", here is the latest from the car ride home today:

Joli: Mom, what will happen if you die?
Liza: Well, I'll go to Heaven.
Joli: But, will Daddy be all alone?
Liza: No, he'll have you and Jada and the new baby.
Joli: But, what happens if I die with you? Will Daddy be alone?
Liza: No, he'll have Jada and the new baby. And, you and I will be in Heaven.
Joli: But, what if Jada dies with you and me? Will Daddy be alone?
Liza: No, he'll have the new baby.
Joli: But, what if the new baby dies with all of us. Will Daddy be alone?
Liza: I guess he will. But he will have all of our other family with him.
Joli: But, who will Daddy love?
Liza: Joli, Dad will still love us even if we die. And, we'll love Daddy.

Pause....

Liza: Joli? Are you worried about Daddy being alone?
Joli: Yes.

Pause...

Joli: Mom, do you think Daddy will find a different person to love if we die?
Liza: Well, I hope so. I hope that if we are all in Heaven that Daddy finds someone he loves and who loves him as much as we do.
Joli: But, what if Daddy doesn't find someone that he loves?
Liza: Well, that's okay, too. But, I hope that if it makes Daddy happy for him to have someone to love, then I hope he finds someone to love.

pause..

Liza: So, I'm going to say this but you might not remember this... if Mommy should happen to die before Daddy, I do want Daddy to find love.

Joli: Mom. I don't think Daddy will ever find someone that he loves as much as he loves you.

Oh Jada....
