So today was not much of anything....no plea entered. Court adjourned until November 22. Not much else to report about that.
Tonight i would like to share some poems. As you all know, Daniel was a poet. His writings are nothing short of phenomenal. I look forward to sharing bits and pieces of his life.
It turns out that Daniel wasn't our only poet. Both his sister Lainey, and his cousin Chelsea have written poems for him and about him. They are both heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. It isn't fair that they have to endure such pain at such young ages. Here they are.
Holding My Hand
By Lainey Thur (Daniel's baby sister)
Age 12
Thinking of your death,
makes me look like a mess.
No one deserves this,
Especially not Mum.
No one should go through this,
It is not fun.
Nothing will be the same again,
Everything will change until the end,
Where we meet again,
And you are beside me,
Holding my hand.
You are now up above, my love.
But, in years there will be no tears,
Because you will be beside me,
Holding my hand.
My Cousin Daniel
By Chelsea Jean Thur (Daniel's cousin)
Age 12
He was caring, He was kind
He had such a creative mind
Not a day would go by
Without him saying "Hi"
His eyes sparkled in the light
His heart full of joy and might
Most say he was best
For that is not the rest
He was my cousin and my friend
I wish his life never had to end
I loved him so much
My family is crushed
He is worlds greatest creation
In his wonderful generation
Daniel loved these girls and its hard to explain to them why. I am not even sure what advice he would give them. He's who they would be turning to,now, if they could.
Here's to another day, with one foot in front of another.
I am forever,
Daniel's Mum
