Peach Fuzz

Remembering Taryn Elkins and Kayan William Trujillo

She was bald, and had this peach fuzz on her head when she was a little baby. Me, Jamie and Garrison adored her. The first thing Garrison would do in the morning was go smooch his baby sister. There was a really special bond there. They'd run around the house together, he'd push her in the little shopping cart she had and make me laugh that they figured out how to use it that way. We bought it for her so that she'd have something to hold onto when she was learning to walk. Garrison would pick her up and plop her inside it with her little chubby legs dangling out the front and push her around while she giggled and laughed. Wow, those are the memories I love. Just thinking about all the times they'd play together before Christian ever came along. They were best friends. Had the same tattoos, held hands everywhere they went. Made me envious that I didn't have a brother growing up. He wears a necklace every day with her ashes in it. Never takes it off. I know that girl is with him all the time. So grateful for that knowledge. Garrison is about to be a father for the first time and I also know Dean is with Taryn saying his goodbyes and bringing her light and love with him to us. She's telling him all the funny things about his daddy and not to ever take him too seriously, hahahaha.
