Usually, either I or Papi will guide Ayden through her prayers. A lot of the time, there will be impromptu additions from Ayden. Mostly, there are a lot of blessings for loved ones. Last night, Ayden insisted on guiding me through a prayer after we had prayed together.
"Lord," she started...
"Sing it," she ordered me when I didn't immediately think to repeat after her. --To her, the word "sing" means the same as "say."--
"Lord," she started again, "Forgive me my shins(sins). Lord, don't forget me. Amen."
Then, she kissed my forehead and hugged my neck: "Goodnight, Mami. I love you."
Now, those are the moments that make life so sweet.
