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
