daniel is still with us

Daniel is still with us. Yesterday, I wrote to a friend,

At dance camp, I was able to spend some time with G [Daniel's former partner], a real treat for me, and I hope for him too. He got at least one phone message that essentially said "Daniel is still alive." I try to think about where Daniel is right now that the fact of his being alive is news. I try to imagine what he's experiencing and what he might remember, should we go to the next stage and there's more (happy) news. I try to imagine what getting better might mean and what he might have to learn in the process. I hope that he's not scared right now, that he feels peaceful and safe.

I greatly admire those who are making this journey with him -- his doctors, nurses, sisters, G, and other loved ones.
