We had a little girl in our ward, Jayci Darrington, pass away friday due to a tragic drowning accident. She was 16 mo. old and she was the cutest little girl! She would run around in relief society and give everyone she saw the biggest grin! I loved watching her every week. I am her mom's visiting teacher and consider her a friend. I have tried to allow her time to spend with her family during this sad time, but have checked on her a couple of times. And I have to say that she is quite possibly one of the strongest people I know. She has had such strength through all of this! I really don't know that I could be so strong when faced with such a heart wrenching tragedy. It has definitely made me hold onto my two little ones more than normal in the last few days! It really kind of hit home where Ava is only 6 mo. older than Jayci. And in some ways, they looked a lot alike. At least in my opinion. Krissy, Jayci's mom, has opened up her blog for everyone to read about her special little girl. She was such a sweet little thing and she was loved dearly! Life is so short as it is! But to have someone so young taken so early just breaks my heart! The Darrington's are never far from my thoughts and I see Jayci in my mind's eye all day long. I hope and pray that the Lord will give them the comfort and the strength that they need to not only carry them through the next few days, but throughout the years to come. I also hope that he can heal the community that so loved this little girl!
I realized after this very tragic event this past weekend, that I really needed to start blogging again because you never know what is going to happen. And I don't want to miss out on any memories. I want to be able to look back at this blog and be able to remember all of the special times in our family and be able to pass them on to the generations to come.
