This is what I pray...

Dear Lord,
This is who I pray to be...
This is what I pray to hear...

Daddy, I liked it when you talked to me normally, even when I couldn't respond.
Daddy, I liked it when you taught me things, even when I couldn't ask questions.
Daddy, I liked it when you helped me even when you were "frustrated with my silly body".
Daddy, I liked it when you said you knew I loved you just by the look in my eye.
Daddy, I liked it when you sang Hannah Montana songs to me.
Daddy, I liked it when you played Mermaid with me at my bathtime.
Daddy, I liked it when you laughed along with me.
Daddy, I liked it when you still took me to see Christmas lights.
And lastly Daddy...I want a parrot :)

Dear Lord, please give my Ani back her voice in all its expression.
In Joy, love, song, jokes, and even anger. I want to hear it all.
