Christmas

Weighing heavy on my heart tonight, you are.........

Last night after Christmas mass a Santa walked in to the church up to baby Jesus. Santa removed his hat and kneeled before him, he quietly and gently layed a blanket over the baby in the manger. I loved that! We were simply, quietly, and humbly reminded why we celebrate this day! I can only imagine what a beautiful celebration you must have had today. Love you Daryn!

Christmas Day

Daryn, I suppose you are having a grand celebration with Jesus today on His birthday!!! Are the angels just singing and praising with the most heavenly voices? Christmas day for us is still so hard when you should be here with us, your family. You are missed so much Daryn by everyone. We just have to trust and believe that you are right where you are supposed to be and we will see you again. I love you sweetheart. Ask Jesus to bless us at our Christmas party tomorrow and let us feel you with us. I have a Christmas eve memory of you that I cherish honey. It was late after our Christmas party, everyone had left but your family. You were sitting at the kitchen counter with your pretty tan coat on, looking so very beautiful, just content and happy to be there and in no real hurry to leave. I was loving you so much in that moment. Thank you for giving me that memory. Merry Christmas blondie.

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,

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

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.
