A young girl named Ighty asks her mother how much she loves her. The mother responds with increasingly large numbers, but Ighty keeps asking if her love is as great as different things like shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. Each time, the mother replies "More than those!". Finally, tired of asking, Ighty wonders why her mother always says that. The mother explains that she loves Ighty so much only Jesus could count it. Ighty is satisfied and says when she goes to heaven, she will ask Jesus to count her mother's love.

Ighty, very tired now, asked, “Why do you always say, ‘More than those’?” Mother answered, “Ighty, I love you so much that only Jesus can count my love for you!” “When I go to heaven, Mother, I will ask Jesus to count your love for me,” said Ighty smiling.
