The Man With the Big Heart, Darren Hampton

My friends Kenny and Phine lost their second son, Darren last week. I can't imgained what they are feeling right now. I know I'm feeling very sad right now. Darren was a very special young man. We learned that he had a heart problem when he was only four years old. We were all hurt to hear that then. Hearing it did share a light on way he behaved the way he. He moved very slow and we would called him the little old man. We didn't realize he had a heart of a old man.
Darren was a very good kid. I loved him he was such a joy to be around. He made of laugh alot because he was so quick witted. It really was a joy to watch him grow to become a man. I had even forgotten he had a heart problem because he did everything his brother did, play ball, groofed around, sang in their group. Just an very active young person.
I am so sad to see him go. Darren loved the Lord and I just loved his facebook profile when he stated that the Bible was his favorite book. How many young people would post that? I feel bad for my friends. Although they've known all his life that this day would come I know they weren't expecting it so soon. I pray that they will continue to grow strenght though this and that they grow closer to God and each other.
I'm going to miss seeing Darren when I go to visit Phine. He was always very kind and geneours young man. When he smiled his whole face would smile with him. I'm going to miss seeing that smile. I'm going to miss the old man. Thank you God for allowing me to know such a young man with a very big heart.
