| “Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave foot prints in your heart” I never thought I’d be sat here today writing something like this. I thought Dan and I would be sat at his having our nightly cup of tea, watching Bo’ Selecta and getting excited about the something corporate gig! But if I’ve learnt anything in the last couple of months it is to never be complacent about life. The day Daniel went into hospital I thought he’d be in for a weekend and then out, hmmm … guess I couldn’t of been more wrong. Even though the hospital was an intense and difficult place to be, it was the highlight of every day for me to go and see Dan. This has been the hardest time of life and the light in each day comes from me thinking of the good stuff because there was so much. Like this one time we went camping, our only worry was being eaten alive by midges! Everything was simple then, we had a really good friendship group and were just enjoying life. We drove to Edale in two cars (all the girls requested Dan in our car but no such luck! He made up for it when we got there though). When we arrived the seven of us (and our four man tent) we started to realise camping might not be as simple as we thought it might be. The small gas cylinder we took for cooking ran out after one fried egg! So we ended up eating cold pasta and marshmallows for every meal. Dan never complained as he realised his love for cold pasta and baco bits, what a quality to always see the good things! The funniest part had to be when Dan rolled out of bed in the morning unknowingly looking the spitting image of Peter Pan. But Dan being Dan, unphased by this just said “Anyone got a camera” and here's my proof: |

| I hope you find this as amusing as us lot and Dan did! Me and my best mate started going out with Dan and Adam (two of the band) at around the same time they didn’t gig for a while and as we were waiting for them to return to the stage we chatted about how cool it was going to be to have rock star boyfriends! We were really nervous about being one of the crowd and how we’d react to our guys on stage but wow the minute I saw Dan on stage with a guitar in his hand and the lights on his face I was blown away! He was destined to be there. It’s really hard to convey how much I loved Dan because I never knew feelings like this existed, and I guess a lot of people would think at 18 you might be too young to appreciate or acknowledge a thing like that. Not many people got to see me and Dan as the couple we became because of the circumstances, but I think everyone who did could see exactly how we felt. Dan once said to me, when we’re settled together he would shout about it from the rooftops. Well, he couldn’t but I suppose this website is my rooftop. I just want to say How much I miss you Leinad I’m lost here All the things we’ve shared I’ll remember The six months will always be My happy place My eternity I’m not angry for you leaving I understand why God thought You deserved better I know when your with me A song, a word, a thought Your smell sometimes creeps Into my breath I hold you close to my heart Always You are my everythought I cant wait to see you again Your red hair and your superman t-shirt Are always in my mind I want to thank you Leinad For everything you’ve given me Another family to love And appreciation I once said to you I wish I can take all this away But I couldn’t So I’d just love you as much as I could |
