And someday we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea

Over 7 months later and it's still absolutely horrifying, depressing, mind-boggling and everything else that somebody could take him away from us. Why would somebody want to do that? He was so incredible, such a wonderful soul and somebody just took it without even giving him a say. I can't comprehend this and it still brings me to tears any time I try to begin to comprehend this concept. He never did ANYTHING to hurt ANYONE, he never would even if he lived for 100 years. There was not a negative or malicious bone in his body. What a beautiful person and such a shame that it had to happen to him. I miss him more and more every day and it's just different than missing somebody else that has died. It almost hurts twice as bad, like thinking about it the monster who did this is twisting a knife in my heart, still, long after it's already happened.

Daniel, if you can read this or if you can hear me, I miss you so much. Not a day goes by where you're not on my mind. I vow to you that I will now live my life twice as hard to make up for what was so hastily taken from you. I'll cry over you when I need to but I won't take anything too seriously. I hope you are with me. Rest in peace my friend.
