Cooter: Just the kind of girl guys like me love. . .*looks at the clock* Well Enos ought to be comin along in an hour or so.

Jesse: *notices* If there's anything . . .anything at all you two would like to tell me. . .you can tell me now.

Cooter: I know. . .A miracle that you got her. I know I'm one to talk about things like that, but it was. . .So is Elly.

Cooter: What? Something wrong? (I forgot about him)

Lily: *nods* I wish they were here now. . .I wish my own little sister hadn't died, but there was nothing I could do. . .Daddy didn't want her.

Jesse takes them out to the barn where all three of them sit down on one of the hay bales.

Lily: I hope we can all do it together. . .Anyway. . .You, Daddy, Me, Andrew, Andrea, and Brenna. . .and our new brother or sister.

Lily: That's why I think my mama would have sung me Anyway. She was hurting too. . .so was I, but we had strength to live . . .anyway.

Lily: I know I'm part of it, but you love me anyway. . .That's one I think my mama would have sung to me. Maybe. . .I don't know. . .Until I came to life with you my life was so uncertain.

Lily: What do those songs make you think about mama?

Lily: You have a song like that mama?

Lily: But I know mama sang me one from him. . .her favorite was Little Bitty. I cry everytime I hear it because of that.

Lily: I'm not sure, but I think it was either Home, Dallas or Little Bitty. . .I really don't remember.

Lily: I hope I get to meet him someday. I remember when I was a baby. . .my mama always played something by him. (g2g will be back soon goin to the mall with my brother's gf)

Lily: Didn't you tell me that he grew up in Ga?

Lily: *nods* Both of them get to singing along to Wanna Talk About Me Then Chatahoochee comes on which is Daisy and Enos's Song along with It Must Be Love

Lily: I wasn't born then, but I'm glad he came back before it happend. Then a new song comes on.

Lily: Why is it Uncle Luke's song?

Lily: Okay mama. Just then Daisy turns the radio on so that she and Lily can listen.

(It was Granny would approve of it. . .lol course that wasn't a long time that I had it and haven't worn them since) Lily: Know what mama?

Lily: *smiles* I don't really like dresses, but I need one for church and my birthday is next month. . .I think. (We don't wear them either, but once my grandma made me a dress for our school play and I wore it everysunday. It was Green and had little yellow flowers on it.)

Lily: I mean to church. . .I ain't got no dresses. . .Mama always said that we were supposed to.

Lily: Yay. . .do I have anything to wear?

Lily: When am I supposed to go home? I wanna go to church.

Lily: Well . . .I'm gonna draw another Angel. Mama wat day is today?
