"Mom I Love You."

Tonight as Allana was going to sleep I was lying down next to her. I had told her no more talking because it was time to go to sleep.

She was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Mom, I love you."

"I love you too, Allana."

Then before rolling over to go to sleep Allana leaned her head close to mine and quietly whispered in my ear, "When I was a baby, I used to like tomatoes."

Within a few minutes she was asleep.
