driving in cars with girls
My daughter and I had an interesting drive home this evening. We came from Tita Pia's house. She had a nice time playing with Margarita while the mommies talked.
When Nina and I were on our way home, I was driving while she sat in the back seat. We were already near our house when my little angel broke her silence.
"Mom", She said in her little voice,"When you are old and then you die already, and I'm old and I die too, Will we be together again?"
I wasn't able to hear her too well the first time she asked me this question, and when I asked her to repeat it, she was reluctant, but she did.
"Of course sweetie" I answered. Trying to sound comforting, as If I was sure of it all. "We'll be together forever". The sad part is of course, that I don't really know, Man has struggled with this cosmic question for centuries. As a parent, I want to give my daughter everything. Even eternity. Being a lowly mortal sucks.
My daughter is five years old and she is already planning our afterlife. I really can't answer her questions now. I wish I knew for sure. Will it still be the tooth fairy and Santa?
All I know FOR SURE is that I love her so so much, and even 'forever' with my little Nina would still not be nearly enough.
