Sisters in Heaven

Shi and Chey.
 One my daughter, one my daughter-from-another-mother.
 Cheyenne's dad is not a member of the church, and her mom is a convert, but currently not active.  Her parents are not together, so Chey does a lot of back-and-forth.  She is a super strong girl with an amazing testimony.  Even with limited church-related support from home, she regularly attends early early-morning seminary and all her church meetings and activities.  You go, girl!
 We love having her around our home -- she's just like another member of our family.
(Sometimes those girls even quarrel argue disagree like any sisters do.)
 Years ago, when Lexee was 3 years old, she and two of her friends were playing in another room.  I could hear the conversation, but couldn't see the action.  You know how it is when THREE girls get together... there seems to almost always a be little competition among friends.  I heard one of the girls say, "She's MY friend!"  In an effort to best the girl issuing the inferred she-likes-me-better-than-you challenge, the response came, "Well, WE are sisters in heaven!"

Frankly, it shocked me.
How on earth could a 3-year-old come up with that?
 Shocking, but {AWESOME}.

I love you guys!
