Daniel was an amazing man. A perfect Fiance, Daddy, Son, Brother and so much more to so many people.


We met in 2004 and in March 2005 moved in together. He took My daughter Caitlin on as his own and
they loved each other from the start.

Our son Harry was born in January 2006 and Daniel was fantastic. He would get up in the night to do
feeds and would happily change nappies.

Daniel and Harry only had 2 years and 9 months together but the time that they had was amazing.
Daniel would come in from work and take over with Harry insisting all his spare time was spent with
him. After putting him to bed he would come down and spend time with Caitlin helping her with her
homework which normally led to them both messing about. Their lives have changed so much since he
went but they were both blessed to have such love from him. He would do anything for them both and
brought them both such happiness and Joy.

In him I found my soul mate and best friend and I thought we would be together forever. We loved
each other so much and knew each other inside out. We both assumed that we would grow old together.
I am incomplete now I have lost him. I didn't realise it was possible to feel so much pain but I
wouldn't give up what we had for the world. I know one day we will be together again and until that
day I will try and make him proud and bring up our children to be all the wonderful things he was.

Losing Daniel was sudden and tragic. I never imagined that day that I would lose him. If I had
known, there would be so much I would have said to him but all I can hope for is that he knew just
how much he was loved by us all.

Daniel was always a strong believer in organ donation and it makes me so proud that he has helped
other people after his death.

He was strong, kind, courageous, loving and sensitive and it was an honour to be part of his life.
We will never be the same without him and it seems so unfair that such a special person would be
taken from his family that he doted on. Although life feels so hard I will forever be grateful that
I got to have him in my life and I will treasure the memories he gave us all my life.

He will be forever missed by us all

My poem for Daniel

If I could have you back again, even for a day
I'd tell you all the unspoken words I never got to say
If I could have you back again, I'd hold on to you so tight
I'd whisper words of love to you until day turned into night
If I could have you back again, I could never let you go
I'd tell you all the things I feel that perhaps I didn't show
I know that this will never be and life seems so unfair
But even death cannot break the bond of love we share

Signs are fore those who struggle with their belief
But I know you believe in me and it softens your grief
I do not need to send a sign to show that I am close
Trust the feeling in your heart, it's a stronger sign than most.

Thinking of you all

That last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again,
But time makes it harder
I wish I could remember,
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My Darling...who knew?

Fathers day

Happy Fathers Day Daddy, I miss you so much. I say goodnight to your picture every night and blow kisses to you in the sky. We didn't have much time together but you gave me enough love to last a life time. You are the best daddy in the world and I love you lots and lots. From your special little guy Harry x x x

You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.

Simply Put

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*

Words never could express

Exactly how I feel

How, until we meet again,

My heart will never heal.

You were so understanding

So gentle, kind and good

And, whenever I had problems

You'd help me all you could.

I miss you so very much

Throughout every single day

And take comfort in the memories

That will never fade away.

I used to work with Daniel, he was a great lad. I can't believe he is gone. I have never even heard about it. He used to be a proper laugh and we would have fun which made the work day go faster.
He will be missed greatly

⊱♥⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱♥⊰~

The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
