thanksgiving 2010

It still takes my breath away to think about what happened.............On this day of Thanksgiving I want to say thank you God for eternal life. How could we all live our lives without knowing you and believing in you!?

Love you Daryn - soon we will all be together again!

Another Day

I sit here and I am listening to the clock strike 12 times in my living room. That means September 10 is over. The day I so dread is over. And another day is here. Another day without my girl. This year, three years later seems in some ways especially hard. I miss her so much. I still have such a burning hole in my soul. She sent another dragonfly to me last Sunday. I took a book outside at the cabin to sit in the sun and read and rest for a few minutes. I barely had the book open when a beautiful scarlet red dragonfly came and sat on my open book for a while. I know she sends them to me. Thank you Daryn, you know what touchs my heart.

Love you,

Gramma

Daryn Renee' Worpel - 3 yrs of missing you!

I can't believe it's been 3 years, our hearts are still breaking for you, but our faith carries us.



3 years, still seems like yesterday when you handed me that umbrella with a smile on your face. You were only 10, but so mature, so thoughtful, so gentle, so beautiful!


til we meet at the gate


Love you

Aunt Wendy

3 years

I got in my car this morning and switched the dial to 99.3........ and the DJs were saying , we have our first call .......what is your name? Daryn - he said. They said his name about 3 times and I just thought, wow that's a little message from above! The song they played right after was "Dancing with My Father GOD in fields of GRACE!!"

Love you Daryn - Let God's light shine warm on you today and forever.

First day of school.

Today is the first day of school for all of my grandkids. Everyone is so excited and has a story. Daryn was always so excited to go to school and ride the bus. She wrote that she had butterflys in her tummy three years ago before school started. Oh my goodness Daryn, I can only imagine all the butterflys carrying you around now!!!!!!!!

Grandpa took flowers to Daryn today. "First day of school !" he said, "She needs something special too." Daryn is still and always will be so very loved and cherished by grandpa and grandma and so many others. We will never forget her ever. So happy first day of school this year sweetheart, I know you walk the halls in spirit and love for all of your cousins and friends who are left behind. Keep carrying the torch for them and lead them the way to Jesus. Loving you forever and for always. Grammy

Just heard Caden playing.........
"God and Daryn.......God and Daryn...........God and Daryn"
I am not sure really what he was thinking, but I just smiled.

A few weeks ago we were looking at some pics of the kids and Caden was naming all of the kids and he pointed to Daryn and said "What? How did she get down here?"

We all know where Daryn is..........and I can't wait to join her in all of God's glory!
Caden is ready too, he can't wait to meet God, man, does he have some good questions for him! Caden says that GOD is soooo smart that he must have eaten like 14 smarties:)

LOVE YOU DARYN - can't believe it's been just about 3 years................. think about you all the time:)

God is Love

It is getting close to three years now since I last saw Daryn. If three years ago today I knew what was ahead I would have gone insane. Some days I think I must be insane to be able to keep continuing on this life journey without her. I have lived 61 years and had her to love for only 10 and it seems now the biggest and the most important part of my life, those precious 10 years. Now this week I bury another person I loved, my nephew Chris. Death is so very hard. I looked at some of his pictures today and it so broke my heart. Good people dying young. It just hurts so much. Love hurts as the song goes. But we must "Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.". Well that is easy to do because I don't have any of my own understanding. The only thing that is becoming very clear to me is that there is nothing on this earth except love that really means anything. And of course we all know that God is love. Anyway, I would like to think that you Daryn Renee' was one of Chris' greeters Sunday. Chris is a real fun guy so I know you will love him!!!! I will be there soon love. Gma
