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 I can go when I want to feel close to him.
So I've decided to create him a beautiful memorial garden. I've located some unused public land and I've received permission to make it as beautiful as I'd like. A local company called Precious Design have kindly offered me lots of pots and planters for free. I will fill them full of Daniel's favourite flowers and I will finally have a place to go and visit with him.
I don't know that I'll ever stop missing my wonderful friend or feeling so angry at the injustice of the world in taking him from us so young and with so much left to give.
