Renew our Strength

I am praying and hoping that my family will have a renewal of strength as we wait upon the Lord. We all have work to do here, and time is limited. Certain days and times of the year are definitely more difficult than others. As school begins it holds deep sadness. It should be such an exciting time of the year, but there is this underlying sad and emotional feeling I harbor. I can't imagine what that feeling is like for Daryn's family. I just hope that Colin and Jolee will be able to enjoy this school year. I would imagine Joe and Kim must find it so difficult to send their children off to school (let alone anywhere). Lord God - Please give them strength to face each day.

Daryn I love you! I know you are in the palm of God's hands............ and I know that it has to be so wonderful. Miss your blue eyes! Love you.

Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint."

After 9-10

Today is Tuesday, Sept. 15 2009. Life keeps going on and on. Two years ago today my precious Daryn's body was laid to rest in Marne across from her first school. I go there but still cannot take it in. It's still so raw, so much pain. I just want to hold her. I remember on the raft at Bitely, she was sitting on my lap for some reason and she just let me hug her and love her. I think she really liked that. I miss her so much. I think that reality is trying to seep in but I try to stave it off. Reality is way too much pain for so many reasons. I feel like I am living a cardboard life, nothing is really real but I just go through the motions of it. I hope that I can find myself again but for now I am just skimming over life, getting to the next day. I put on the "I'm normal act." but I am not. Never will be. Probably as they say, a "new normal". When I saw the picture Taiylor posted with her Six Months poem and then read the poem I was so broken hearted, so many memories of the three, so much fun, so much love, my God, never knew, never had a clue, never in a million years could we have guessed that we would not always have the "three" with us, still can't imagine it, and yet we live it every day. What a loss for so many people, such a huge empty void in our family now. Always will be. I will love her forever and have a great hope of seeing her again because I know that she is home and safe and completely loved by her God and her Saviour Jesus Christ.

6 months

Within 6 months we were 3
Didn't really make a difference
We didn't look a lot alike
But we really didn't care
I was tall
She was short
And he was somewhere in between
Our eyes were the only thing that looked alike
Silvery Blue
But no one believed that we were here for each other
Forever
It was us against the World
Our armor was our hearts
Our life was our sword
And with each other
We were an army
Of 3
We told each other we were there for each other
And if we lost 1 of us
We wouldn't know what to do
Well,
It happened
A life was taken
We breathed
We lost her
We wanted her back
But we knew we would have to fight in an army
Now of 2
But we knew
We will never be alone
Our life has changed, there's no doubt
But we found something to live for
To breath for
To wake up every morning for
And go through our lives
We do it
All for
Her
Her spirit
Her life she lived
Her memories she left
For us to
Keep
We breath
We wake
We love
HER!
