Darren,

You are a wonderful man. Hopefully one day you will find it in your heart to move forward and possibly find someone else to share your life with. I mean no disrepsect to Misty what so ever, and I know that htis may be years and years away. You remind me of someone I grealy respected who had so much love to offer to a best friend, a spouse that she was a better person when she had someone to share her life with. It is awesome that you have decided on seminary. Blessings.

Darren,
I don’t know you, but I have wept with you and Misty though your journey. I pray for you and your daughter that God’s peace and grace abound more and more. His ways are not our ways, that’s a hard one- I too don’t understand the pain Misty has suffered and why her. Maybe we won’t understand, but can still believe in God’s plan. Is that called trust? Anyway maybe you will find that out in seminary and will be able to share with us all. God bless you, truly bless you. Peggy

Darren,

I stumbled upon your story in the midst of my own grief one year ago. Within 2 months of our marriage, my husband and I lost his dad and our cousin’s baby. Both deaths were unexpected and did not allow for goodbyes. I periodically return to your website to see how you and Olivia are doing. She is a cutie. Thank you for sharing your inspirational words.

Thanks for sharing your letter. It’s raw and truthful and I’m better for reading it. You make me want to be that person to those who I’m close to, who Misty was and is to you.

Darren,
It has taken me a few days to get up enough courage to read your blog. I have been thinking about the one year anniversary for weeks. Your letter to Misty was beautiful thank you for sharing it. I have learned so much from your journey and from praying for Misty, Olivia and you. God is good and He loves us with a love that is beyond my understanding. I agree with you about Misty. She changed lives by her willingness to trust God even unto death. That is amazing. Love, Geannine

Darren,

I must admit I haven’t visited in a while, but God led me to you tonight. I was so happy to read that you are heading to the seminary. My brother was called to the seminary several years ago, and watching his transformation and growth has been an extraordinary experience. Many Blessings! ~ Luci

Darre, thank you so much for this post. I followed your blog so closely this time a year ago and have not paid it as much attention since then. I saw your status on Facebook yesterday and decided I should check it out again. I’m so happy that I did, because that was a beautiful post. I am sure that Misty is looking down on you and Olivia and beaming. You should be very proud of everything that you’ve done in her honor, and the little girl you are raising. I pray that the two of your are richly blessed for years to come.

We are so proud of you Darren. Nicole says such great things about you and how you have handled this whole year. May God bless you and continue in the healing He has begun. May you love that child the way Christ loves the Church, and may you be truly and completely happy in this world for as long as God gives you breath.
