Through the night Daniel had to receive platelets because they were really, REALLY low, now as an afterthought, maybe running in the halls wasn't such a great idea. We the nurse who we have never had before was so loud that that was it for me. I was up at 3 and that was it. By 4, I had given up on sleep completely so I hit the computer. Big mistake. Well I got to Facebook and there it was the source of Daniel's silence. I am overcome by emotion by what Ben has written. I knew Daniel had a connection to Ben from the first time I had heard of him after he got back from camp. They have always been in contact but I knew it was special when on Daniel told me that Ben was the first and only one he had told about his diagnosis. That was one of the first days Daniel was able to put a sentence together between his pain and he chose to contact Ben in Winnipeg, his camp counsellor. I remember calling the cap director and expressing to him how special Ben must be to evoke such a special bond with Daniel to trust him enough with sharing this news. Now I know just how special Ben is and how much Daniel means to him. Please take a few minutes to read Ben's work.
