Daniel was an amazing man. A perfect Fiance, Daddy, Son, Brother and so much more to so many people.

We met in 2004 and in March 2005 moved in together. He took My daughter Caitlin on as his own and they loved each other from the start.

Our son Harry was born in January 2006 and Daniel was fantastic. He would get up in the night to do feeds and would happily change nappies.

Daniel and Harry only had 2 years and 9 months together but the time that they had was amazing. Daniel would come in from work and take over with Harry insisting all his spare time was spent with him. After putting him to bed he would come down and spend time with Caitlin helping her with her homework which normally led to them both messing about. Their lives have changed so much since he went but they were both blessed to have such love from him. He would do anything for them both and brought them both such happiness and Joy.

In him I found my soul mate and best friend and I thought we would be together forever. We loved each other so much and knew each other inside out. We both assumed that we would grow old together. I am incomplete now I have lost him. I didn't realise it was possible to feel so much pain but I wouldn't give up what we had for the world. I know one day we will be together again and until that day I will try and make him proud and bring up our children to be all the wonderful things he was.

Losing Daniel was sudden and tragic. I never imagined that day that I would lose him. If I had known, there would be so much I would have said to him but all I can hope for is that he knew just how much he was loved by us all.

Daniel was always a strong believer in organ donation and it makes me so proud that he has helped other people after his death.

He was strong, kind, courageous, loving and sensitive and it was an honour to be part of his life. We will never be the same without him and it seems so unfair that such a special person would be taken from his family that he doted on. Although life feels so hard I will forever be grateful that I got to have him in my life and I will treasure the memories he gave us all my life.

He will be forever missed by us all

My poem for Daniel

If I could have you back again, even for a day
I'd tell you all the unspoken words I never got to say
If I could have you back again, I'd hold on to you so tight
I'd whisper words of love to you until day turned into night
If I could have you back again, I could never let you go
I'd tell you all the things I feel that perhaps I didn't show
I know that this will never be and life seems so unfair
But even death cannot break the bond of love we share
