Almost three years that you have gone Dan… Wherever you are, you know that you have not been forgotten! Few days ago I found some pics and the card you wrote when you left India.
You are always in my thoughts and memories and this is how I keep you alive. I know that you are at peace and that we will surely meet again above.
Spiritual love and pure thougts are sent to you through Angels, I know they will reach you!

Thank you Georgia for your comment. I personally remember him very often and feel that he has gone somewhere else but has not left the heart of all those who loved him. He is very much alive in my thoughts and memories.
You are very right, we often do not know those we are living with and, reciprocally, they may not know us.
I will be always there for you if you feel writing to me personally : bbindia2007@hotmail.com

I just want to say thank you to Dan’s friends who have posted messages to or about him here. Sanmati that was a beautiful portrait of him - I can see him now exactly as you described. He was wearing his ‘jesus sandals’ and carrying that woven red bag the last time I saw him.
Brigitte, it seems so unreal that it has been two years on this earth without him for me also.
It’s so nice to hear all your thoughts about Daniel and to see him through your eyes, which I feel is closer to how I knew him than how my parents did. Thank you.

I know what you’re saying, Sanmati - I think of him the same way, asking questions and telling him things I wouldn’t tell other people. I feel pretty sad when I think about how much has happened and changed in the past two years; how he’s never seen the house I live in now, never met such and such, and so on. I suppose there’s no point dwelling on it, but if I saw him again, I wouldn’t know the first place to start on bringing him up to date. And still, for some reason, I feel like I’m waiting to do that.
Anyway, I suppose I just wanted to add my thoughts here because I don’t talk about them much elsewhere any more, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about or miss (or talk to) Dan any less.

ive been thinking of dan a lot lately.
dan standing on a hill; dan reading something weighty; dan smiling inwardly; dan drawing some singularly profound conclusion about something in his head.
i’ll always remember dan as a sage, in his jesus sandals, with a woven red bag and only about $2 of loose cash on him– ‘living like a monk’ he would say.
ive never stopped speaking to dan or asking him questions- i’m not sure if its him ive been adressing or some dan-shaped part of my own personality. either way i realise that there isnt a sense in me of dan having gone anywhere. he’s still a silent interlocutor in everything i do and i carry him around. he hasn’t gone anywhere.
two years now, dan.

It is hard to believe that almost two years have passed since you left Dan but your spirit is very much alive. Just now come to my mind memories of you smiling and laughing so much when we visited Red Fort or when you were called “Mr Dan” at a certain place in India. These are the images which I will always keep because there are very good and unforgettable memories.
May your soul be always at peace.
Brigitte

Dear friend,
No need to wait the next 20th of January to express that you are remembered and missed a lot!
Actually since I have been reassigned to India, I could not visit any of the places I visited with you when you came. Two days ago, a colleague of mine told me that she went to Sultanpur Lake and I immediately thought of you, it has been an acute pain to remember Sultanpur Lake believe me!
It was certainly painful but at the same time I realized that you have not gone, you still live in the memories of our minds and hearts, traveling my spiritual journey and this makes me smile. I miss you and pray for your soul to be at peace. Brigitte

Dan was a very intelligent young man who wooed his family and friends with
his charm, whit and personality. His eclectic nature allowed him to
understand more people than others thought possible. He was in touch with
his heart and knew that if he cultivated this organ many other things will
just flow naturally. From the simple lifestyle of Indian to the grandeur of
the educated and wealthy he was very well adjusted and competent to adapt.
His love for people will not go unnoticed either; Dan’s philanthropy reached
not only his family but the world. He was a giant in society and amongst his
sphere of influence he was regarded with utmost respect and adoration. He
will be remembered in the hearts and lives of his loved ones and ultimately
he still lives, ever touching our daily lives by the memories he left in our
own individual minds. To my cousin and friend.

On behalf of Dan’s immediate family, Eva, Jim and Georgia, I would like to thank Jon and Hannah for setting up this website as a place where people who knew Dan can share their memories and keep in touch with his spirit now that he is no longer with us. For us, it is a very moving and beautiful reminder of how important he was to not only his family, but to the many wonderful and diverse friends he made during his relatively short life. It tells us that we are not alone in our love and deep respect for this very special human being, that our despair and grief in his passing is shared by many, and the rivers of tears that I have shed since that fateful day can momentarily be transformed into tears of pride and joy when I see his beautiful brown eyes beaming out at me once again in a new posting, or when I read a moving account of what Dan meant to someone. Thank-you all for sharing Dan’s life with us and for helping to ease the terrible pain of losing him by remembering him so beautifully here.
Eva, Dan’s mother.
