This song is one of my favorite songs
and it reminds me of Daryn. I heard this
song one day when I was having a hard day,
and it reminded me of Daryn and her singing.
Love you Daryn,
Taiylor

Missing you Daryn Worpel
Not one day has gone by since Daryn left for her new home in heaven that I don't think about her. Sometimes I still wake up in the morning and think I had a horrible nightmare, but soon realize the reality of our broken family. I watch Taiylor trying to fill the void with many things, but then reality also hits her when the silence sets in. I know that Jesus is holding us, because we are still moving forward. Moving forward doesn't stop the hurting, but it does help us to get through one day at a time.
Last Aug when we celebrated Syd's and Mindy's birthday was one of my last memories of Daryn.
Just like Mindy said, 2 banana's for her banana split. I remember saying ,"Are you going to eat all that?" and my my surprise she did.
She was so kind, the very last time I seen her smile was Sept. 10th 2007. We were at Colin and Rylie's soccer practice, Daryn, Jolee, Taiylor and Sydney were in Kim's Van and it started to rain and she handed me a umbrella with a smile. Thank You
Daryn, I love you and miss you.

HOPE Daryn Worpel
I guess this was my first sign over the past year that helped me to keep the Faith. Last Fall about a week after Daryn died, I was walking back from getting Kaila onto the bus, I looked up at the sunrise and saw this in the sky. Sometimes things happen and it is just what you needed in that moment. I believe that God gives us little signs here and there to let us know he is with us. This was my little miracle for the day, and a beautiful thing it was. The picture itself does no justice to what I saw in the sky, but you get the idea. I read the book, The Case for Faith (Lee Strobel) last Fall as well and found it a great book to help you keep your Faith any time in your life but especially in times of loss. I highly recommend the book to anyone!
I was thinking about last year at Sydney and my b-day party at Wendy/Jer's.......... we had banana splits, Daryn was making her dessert and peeled 2 whole bananas with her scoops of ice cream and toppings.......... we thought her eyes were a little bigger than her tummy, with a little smirk on her face she started to eat it and ......... , well, she gotter dun!
It is nice to be able to smile at a memory............. just keep remembering all of her life, the big things and the little things, keep them fresh, so that when we see her again, face to face, it will not feel like she has been gone too long............ compared to eternity it is not That Long!
Love you Daryn, Aunt Mindy

Daryn Worpel * You Are Forever Loved
Click on link below, a video that reminds us of what LOVE really is!!
http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=8cf08faca5dd9ea45513
I watched this video and was moved, I am sure you will be too.
Daryn, I think about you every day! I see God pushing all of us through the obstacles in our lives, and loving us enough to do what it takes, whatever it may be........... hopefully we all can open our hearts even through grief and pain to feel his love and feel the hope that he gives us. Also to give us the strength to appreciate the great gift of each of our lives! Life is a gift! A miraculous and amazing gift, that I hope to not ever take for granted!
God Bless You All!!
One last thing: Last Sunday at church the Gospel reading was Matthew 14:13.......... take a minute to read it
During the sermon Fr. Tony talked about how Jesus did 3 things; Blessed the food, Broke it, and Shared it...... giving this small amount of food to 5000 people and they were all satisfied, as only we can be satisfied with the "food" from Jesus himself. Nothing else will fill us as we need to be fed. Nothing from this world can fill us as our Lord can.
He made a correlation between that reading and the Last Supper and Jesus himself. In all situation these 3 things: Blessed, Broken and Shared. Now it is our turn to do the job as followers of Christ, We have been blessed we have been broken (or will be broken) and as a result we need to Share our experiences in order to bring others to God. Obviously it seems some are broken much more painfully as in Joe and Kim, Colin, Jolee and others who were close to Daryn. Much more painfully, but the message I am trying to convey is to all that are hurt and broken, you must continue on and fight the good fight for our God! It is the Most important thing in this world!
I sometimes think about doing things that would make Daryn happy, and that would be the most important thing to her, I am sure, introduce others to Jesus, who Loves us and Forgives us no matter what! I want to make God happy first and foremost, but knowing my little niece is right there with Him I want her to be proud of her family and be proud to introduce me to God, when my time comes!
