Last week we lost a dear friend to the family. Danny came into our lives about 5 years ago. Chloe' was adding my space friends to her profile. Danny popped up as a Demolay (boys organization with in the Masonic family). It said that he lived in West Valley. Yes I know what you are thinking, I was dumb and didn't monitor who she added at the time. Chloe' and Danny got talking on my space and then Chloe' introduced Danny to Camilla. Cami and Danny became close, and at one time were boyfriend and girlfriend for several months. As time grew on Cami and Danny became really close friends. We have had Danny and his brothers to our house several times. We have also had his parents to our house.
Cami and Danny were boyfriend and girlfriend when he became ill. After several test they discovered that it was Leukemia. Danny has fought very hard and was in remission for a while. His leukemia came out of remission. Danny had a bone marrow transplant, his brother was a perfect match but the treatment (radiation and Chemo) were too much for his body. Danny passed away on Monday June29. This has been really hard and Cami and Chloe' and I dare say it hasn't been very easy on Jeff and I . We loved Danny and welcomed him into our house like he was one of our own. It makes me stop and think, yes I know he is in a better place and in no pain now it is just painful for the people left behind. I have felt helpless to comfort anyone in my family and anyone else. I also know there is supposed to be a lesson in this but I can't see what it is.
