This site is dedicated to the memory of my daughter
Jordyn Makayla Vaughn
Angel Date- 6/25/04 Forever four years old.

As a parent you would never dream that you would outlive your child. In a perfect world that would be the case, but this is not a perfect world. Everyone has there time that was chosen for them to leave this world and on June 25, 2004 Jordyn was chosen to become an Angel when she was accidentally hit while riding her bike at our home.

I would like to take this time and tell you about Jordyn and what a wonderful little girl she was. Jordyn was so full of life and love for everyone that knew her. She would tell strangers on many occasions that they looked pretty today and she was even known to pick flowers and take them to people walking on the road in front of our house. She knew no strangers.

On Christmas day 2005 it was exactly a year and a half since the accident and it seems like yesterday.Others have said that time heals a broken heart. Yes, maybe in some cases but I don't think time could ever take away the pain of missing her. Our family is missing out on so much not being able to see her grow up. Not knowing what she would have looked like all grown up and there are so many firsts that we will never see. Her first loose tooth. Her first day of preschool through her college years. Her first crush. Falling in love and watching her walk down the aisle. Getting the phone call at 3 a.m. telling mom and dad that it was time to go to the hospital. Seeing her hold her brand new baby for the very first time and telling her how very proud we are of her. That she finally got what she had dream of since she was a little girl,a baby of her own. It breaks my heart.

Jordyn loved her sisters with all her heart. Her big sister Ashlee was her idol. She wanted to be just like Ashwee. That is what she called her until she learned how to say her name. Anything that Ashlee did Jordyn wanted to do too. She was Ashlee's little shadow. She was very excited to find out that she was going to be a big sister too. She would tell everyone that is my baby. The night I went into labor her daddy took her to her Mamaw and papaw's house to stay with them. What we didn't know was that Mamaw had promised Jordyn that no matter what time it was she would take her so she could be there when her baby sis got here. No more than 10 minutes after we arrived at the hospital,in poked Jordyn's little face asking if her baby sister was here yet. I will have so many stories to tell Kelsey but I think the one that will mean the most to her is that Jordyn helped to name her. She picked Reanne for Kelsey's middle name. I am so glad that we decided to use it. I will mean so much to Kelsey. Jordyn loved all of her Grandparents. She loved spending the night at Mamaw Sheryl and Papaw Gary's house. It was her second home. If she wasn't at home playing with her sisters , gardening with her daddy or making cookies with mommmy she was at Mamaw and Papaws house. It was convienient for her because we are all neighbors.

She loved spending time with her Papaw Larry and Mamaw Dorothy too. They would come to visit and she would get so excited. Not only because she loved them so much but because they would bring stuffed animals to her a lot. Papaw Larry would drop a dollar bill on the floor just to see how excited she would get when she found it.

She had a very special bond with her Grandma Irene. She had so much fun when she would go visit her and play with the little drums that she had at her house and there were always cookies in the cookie jar for her. She had a step stool that she used to get her own cookies. It made her feel big. She loved her Uncle Brian and Aunt Miranda with all of her heart. She would go watch her Uncle Brian drive his race car and he was good so he would win a lot. Jordyn would be waiting for him to come to us after the race to tell him Good job Uncle Brian. Brian will always hold a special place in his heart for her. Jordyn taught us all so much in the brief time she had with us. She taught us pure, unconditional love. A child's love and there is nothing more special than that.

Jordyn we love you and miss you so very much. I will see you soon Sweetie!

Love, Mommmy
