 The Joy You bring!!!  (D-Vine)

I was recently reminded just how much of a joy it has been to have shared the time we did together.   What really came to mind, was just how excstatic I became from every single phone call, email, or moment we shared.   The recent blooms from your vine, remind me that you are not only among us, but that I was always so truly amazed by you Daniel, and forever will be greatful for the times we shared.  May I always recall those moments when I feel you may not be close.--- Thats when you show up most clearly.   I wanted to share with ya, the

NEW BLOOMS, I heard ya tell me what to name my lovely vine...  D-Vine it is!!  :)  Proudly you!  Your bright light shines in this spring season, and your love, as the love of God, Goes on forever.

As you know, Im lookin for ya D, and find you everywhere!

vines, bloomers & Ravines‏

I know that today is significant for you Daniel, and Im not exactly sure why,

but I will try and figure it out. Ya know I miss ya constantly,

and still find miracles everywhere.

Especially when I see those whom you knew, and as you would call them- Your grapes of the vine. I know you are proud of how your vine continues to sing its own tune.

5 bloomers (yet to be realized), but hopefully all the while.

I am inspired by its seeming so happy in its new home. You know we have found a Ravine here and there, and I am truly faithfull, that as long as we dont give up, we will climb to the other side. Did you get your assignment yet? I thought last night perhaps that is the significance of today. At any rate D- I love and miss you.

Bless you for sharing Daniel's work with the world. He was truly an amazing person - you can see that through his work. While his body will be missed, his message will live on and bring more light and love into this world!!!.

Hey D-

Wanted to drop you a line, and thank you for miracles.  The vine made it to the new location safely, and funny enough, began today, to show its first sign of new life.   Thanks for the company, along the journey up north, as you know how much Chad will miss having his mom here on earth.   Go ahead and itroduce yourself... she knows who ya are!     Love you always..

I sit at the top of the stairway, listening to the sound of Chad and Larry in the shower together. Somehow Daniel, I don't imagine this is what you had in mind- but it is the reality (we keel ourselves with. As you know, it all happened just a week or so after you went away. Chad and I really havent been together since you left Daniel. It truly breaks my heart today, and everyday since last July. So many "lasts", were taking place around then. It still makes me cry. I lost you that day Daniel, but I also lost my partner Chad, in the emotional sense, that "he and Larry" really went that direction, and I find myself both strugling to co-exist with the very reminder of you, and remembering when you first met larry. "the prince". He has become King now, and has really changed the very existence of what I thought was perhaps the strongest bond between a couple. (Chad and I) went thru so many things together. We had been together 5years when I met you. I know you remember what I said to you... And that in those days it seemed so clear- Chad and I simply were. I honor you in that you always encouraged me to do more with that. It is not forgotten. I thank you for keeping me company even today, sometimes I wonder if I should still be living here. Despite the struggle I have undertaken to protect my place in this home,

 Daniel a spirit of lasting impressions..‏ 

A while back you visisted my website. I have from time to time ventured to yours. I must tell you, dear spirit, that although Daniel appears to be a wonderful person in life and spirit, you exist within the same realm. It is wonderful to see such extensions of life continue on. The ability he had to impress upon you, and the ability you had to accept that impression and keep it alive is what makes individual spirits unique and special. Best wishes, Lisa Willhite www.booksaboutreallives.com

did not know...‏

i didn't know Daniel, but only some people who did know him. i received a link of the update to this website from colby and decided to look. i am very touched by people's words of him and his pictures. i feel like i knew him just from being here. this website must help a lot of people cope with their loss.

March 14, 2008  7:34PM  (Tonia) @ Myspace

Danny, this is my first time I wrote to ya and at this time in my life I sit and wait for you to pop in and say, "I love you Tonia Lynn".

you always popped up from no where when I neede you most. We could go a couple of years without talkin and one day you would just pop up.

Its been almost a year now since I last talked to you and now I wish I would've said more and hugged you a little longer you know.

 I still wait for you to come to my door and tell me it was all a crazy scheme to get away for awhile. Danny, I miss you. We had some good times and the impact you had on a lot of lives is incredible. We'll meet again and be able to watch the clouds float by.

I love you.

Happy Saint Valentines Day‏

You know daniel there are somethings you never forget.

Like the love you get from god, and truly amaziing agape love from others, and then there are the things you tend to always forget.

Things like your own phone number, after all, how often does one call yourself?

Again, --to recap Amazing Love, never forgets.... Here or there, we remain a spirit of one.

Good Morning...

danny, i pray you are resting well where you are. i think about you daily. the kids still have so many questions and seem to miss you more as time goes on. kelsi shared with me the journal she had been keeping since you left. you would be so proud of her ability to cope with stress. she wrote you a song. she is so amazing but u already know that. danny its been 7 months and jazan is just now comming to grips with the idea that you are not comming back.

i know you guys were very close and that you saw something in her that worried you. but im listsening to her and doing all i can to show her how much she is loved. i want you to know that i am sorry for not being there for you more at the end. i let work and school and the complexity of life consume me for a while when i should have payed more attention to the fact that you were so sick. i remember the last time i saw you was at aunt rae and uncle bob's anniversery party. you came to my church to tell me you were here. when i came home i was rushing everyone to get ready to go to the party. and then when we got there we ate and took those beautiful pictures. who would have thought i would never see you again.

i remember how i only had a couple of hours to spare and then i had to be at work, so when it was time to go i was rushing all of you to get in the car so i wouldnt be late. i was always rushing. i wish i would have slowed down and just enjoyed our visit. i hope you knew how much i loved you. i know i said it often but i wonder if you ever really knew it. well what have i learned from all of this. i guess to take advantage of the time given to me, time is presious and once its gone you cant get it back. pay closer attention to the people around me and the influence that my attitude has on other people. most importantly i've learned that life without you has left a huge hole in my heart. i miss you, I LOVE YOU, and i pray that you are resting in peace.

i wish u were here‏

today is the day we so often talked about. I PASSED MY TEST!!!!! i so despriately want to call u up to tell u this great news so that we could both sigh in relief together. i know how proud of me that u were because u always said so. u never stopped believing in me and always encouraged me not to give up, that ment more to me than u will ever know. i am very glad that this web site is here. i guess i feel like this connects me to u some kinda way. Danny i LOVE you, I miss you, and i will never forget the life we shared.

Warmth in Winter‏  

You know Daniel, I still look for the miracles, like your sending me to the song 2-19, and funny enough, the contractors at the building my office is located, wrote 2-19, on the only window yet to be replaced in the building. Ndeed you bless me each day. Just after christmas you know we celebrated our last worship service held at St. Johns United Methodist. MCC is now meeting down on the riverfront near the brewery. Daniel, i heard you that sunday tell me to meet you in the garden, and I can appreciate you sent me there, not for me, but for the 90 year old lady I encountered sneaking out a moment early... you see she had been going there since the 1940's and the two of us could connect that I will always be drawn to that church, the same as she. Spiritual Markers Rev. Carol keeps saying. For the lady, she had assuredly married, and buried her husband in that church, and it pained us both to walk away that sunday, never to enter those doors again. I continue to see your MCC family flourishing in its temporary home. Much the same as a downpour wont ruin pridefest, nor will a four block walk to get to church due to lack of parking. Its more a question of devotion to what your doing, but you know that all too well. Chad mentioned tonite, how much he envied your abilty to jump on that train day after day and keep going. Miss you Much, ala C

Merry Christmas Danny.

We had Christmas at Grandma's last night and it was fun watching the litle ones open their presents. My heart sunk with every word in that house last night. I could hear you laughing and playing with the kids in every room. Nicci, Isaiah, and Philip went into the bedroom that you wrapped presents in last year and wrapped the pesents from Santa.

Uncle Jim and Aunt Cary was there along with Melissa. Philip brought Jess with him and it was nice. We had a really good meal and time visiting. Grandpa was laughing at the chaos in the house. He actually laughed yesterday. We don't see that much. The kids are getting older but they still perform for their presents. Grandma made the three litle ones sing a song for us before opening the presents. Wesley drove grandma around town yesterda for her to get her things finished up at the last minute. It was amazing. I miss you and I wish I could tougch you. I know you are in my heart and my breath, but I would really like to just touch you again.

 Love, Mom.

Frozen in Time

So many memories, and sounds, held in place

So many pictures from time and space

Frozen in Time

My life among you Melted like "buddah"

The Hill he could not climb

How things have come to pass

and the sharpness of memories begin to fade...

I can still imagine your sneaking out yo class!

Now the Rain, has turned to snow,

And your love warms this heart of mine,

The memories before you had to go...

Seem Frozen in time

Daniel,

I miss you. I'm getting married in less than two weeks and I'm sad that you won't be there. I wish you could know the effect you had on people. Although I knew you only for a short time, I felt like I knew you for years.

Love you,
Marie

This is the day of my son's birth. I have been thinking all day of the many birthdays I shared with him. God truly gave me a blessing when he let me borrow Daniel, but I didn't cherish him enough while he was here. It is too late for me to make it right with him, but I hope I am able to pass on to others just how important it is to spend time with loved ones. I was told so many times those very words, but I didn't heed them. Daniel knew the meaning of those words far better than I. He was a wonderful angel and I am so glad that so many people are being touched by him still today. I want to thank everyone who has been involved in putthing this together. You will never know how your thoughts and love affect other people. I am seeing in so many ways the lives that my son touched. I know that he is in the spirit world and he is talking to me everyday. Today was one of those days when I felt him with me all day. Thank you all again, especially Colby, Chad, and Larry. You guys are wonderful. Keep up the good work. Kayla

I enjoyed my visit to your site, and you got me thinking about looking at Daniel's collection in a new light, I realize in retrospect, that much of his works have "hidden objects" within them. Or entirely new peices if you flip it to another angle.-- Thanks for the gem..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lanjansann Response:
I am so delighted to hear of your discovery. I'm not sure if artist's learn of other artist's hiding items within their work or if it is merely the nature of artist to be somehow compelled to do so, but I am nonetheless so glad you found yet another treasure left by Daniel. I hope you will not mind that I've added a permanent link to Daniel's site from mine. If you place your pointer on his link it simply say, "Have your spirit lifted by visiting Daniel's site." Our world needs many more Daniel's in it. God bless your loving efforts to share his spirit with the world. Your new friend and Daniel's too. L. A. Jansann

I DONT COME TO BOW...I COME TO CONQUER.......BOB MARLEY‏

when colby was kind enough to call me, with news of daniel's passing, i was speechless, but not surprised. i could look at it pragmatically and with clinical reason. the following morning (after colby"s call) my world was shattered. the grief was unbearable. i knew daniel well and had shared so many periods of elated joy, deep depression and anger. "escapades" we liked to call them,. they created a unique and strong bond. he was the one true love in my life, and i will forever miss him. he was such an inspiration and inlightened my, rather sheltered, world in so many respects. "a prince and a pauper," he use to say, and wrote in poetry. one evening, daniel and i were watching a bob marley video at the home we shared in washington dc. when bob uttered these words, daniel turned to me and said, "you see ryan, it's all about conviction." DANIEL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU FOUND THE PEACE THAT YOU SO WELL DESERVE.

I doubt I have the proper words to express my true feeling as I enjoyed a most bitter sweet yet oh so pleasant stroll through this lovely site. What a loving tribute by those responsible for organizing this site. I am truly sorry this gifted and kind hearted spirit of a young man was taken at such an early age. But by your own testaments what a true joy it must have been to have known Daniel. I'm not sure just how you accomplished creating a site one would expect to leave feeling drained and sad, but I honestly left with my spirits lifted, with the memory of his words and his beautiful art work lingering in my mind. Thank you for the experience of knowing Daniel, too! God bless. .

Hello again, I'm having another look at Daniels website and find it wonderful to read and listen to the music. A lot has been added since I was here last. I would like to thank you for allowing me to put Daniels page on my website, People have got in touch with me to say how much they enjoyed reading his words of wisdom. I'll be looking in again often to see how your all getting on. God Bless.

November 1, 2007   7:19PM  (R. Nelson)

Somehow, some way, this site was emailed to me today. I never had the privilege of knowing Daniel, but I have been deeply touched by the words and thoughts that have been expressed here. A couple of notes... I lost my partner of 21 years ten years ago. It was sudden and unexpected: a massive heart attack.

A significant part of me died with him. No matter what anyone says about getting over it, you never do. Yes, I've gone on with my life, but again, much of me died when he did. Also, realize that Daniel has gone on with his life...this was a minor interruption for him. Life continues.

The love you had/have for him can be expressed to others...so many of whom live without living today. I'm involved in social services, but I'm also privately involved in a lot of services that provide direct support to individuals. So, many, many people are living alone...without hope, without friends, without anyone who genuinely cares about them. I'm sure Daniel was important to you, and that he was truly special. One way we go on is by loving others... Peace.

Feel free to write: I'm at rnelson@gatewayhomeless.org , and I live nearby, in Saint Louis, MO.

   Three Months and I'm Still Breathing...

I guess much of what I want to say to you D, I need not say... I continue to take it one day at a time, and hey- I can hardly beleive that 3months have passed. Yes i can... it has seemed like a very very very long 3 months. I know that not one day has passed that I havent really spent a good amount of time.. simply missing you. And perhaps a little bit of time, imaginging how you would veiw things as they are today. It does in fact seem to be a different world. I try not to say too much on here, cause i know that you already know. As is was in the beginning...no words needed. You know Ive been pondering on an article about ya for almost two weeks now,for a writing group in the U.K. but,I cant seem to formulate into words just yet. I miss you Daniel, and we both know how much love in this world is soaring towards you. I still remember you saying "he looked me in the eyes... how can you say no?"... He who gave so much to each of us. It has been an honor to give back a little in your name.'
