    It's been nearly 2 years since we lost Daniel and the pain is just as raw. The funeral has passed and there have been many charity fundraisers in his name since he left, but lately I've been starting to feel as though I need something more with which to remember him. Since I was only a friend I don't really know what the family did with his ashes and it doesn't feel right to ask, but that means that I don't have anywhere…

    We've lost him.  He's gone.  I can hardly believe my last post was only 2 months ago and whilst things didn't look good, I could never have imagined this would be my next post.

    I can't believe he's no longer with us.  I really can't.

    Daniel, being Daniel, hasn't let even this affect him.  He's still totally motivated…

    Well, some delays in his treatment (usually REALLY annoying) meant that Daniel did not have to spend Christmas day in hospital :)  So thank goodness my surprises didn't come off!

    And hopefully he's coming to the end of his stretch of treatment.  His final planned chemo session finished at the end of January and he should be starting radio in the next couple of days which will last about 2.5 weeks.  Then it'll be…

    Daniel is still being treated at the Royal Marsden and after being so devastated that he was going to have to spend his Christmas there, as the big day approaches I am just more and more impressed each day with the place!

    When I first heard that Daniel would be having chemo Christmas Day, I did my absolute best to try and plan some elaborate surprises for him to make his day that little bit more special.  But I largely…
