The Christmas Tree

I talked to Aunt Pat today. I called her when she was decorating her Christmas tree and she was crying. And I have been praying for all those people in the world who are crying while they decorate their tree. Taiylor and Alec are coming Saturday to help us decorate our tree. Taiylor asked if we could put up the big tree again. It hasn't been up since Daryn celebrated Christmas with us four years ago. So we will decorate it together, remembering in our hearts that last Christmas with her. She had a beautiful red dress on. She was just one of the kids running around, having a great time. Oh how I didn't know how perfect my life was, my kids all home, healthy and happy. Never again will it be the same. Never again till we are all together in heaven for Christmas. So Daryn watch over us all as we decorate our Christmas trees and help us know that you are safe and loved and held by Christ our Savior forever. Love you my Christmas Angel.

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:)
