Like many people I've sat here and read every single one of the posts on this site. I've sat here and howled my eyes out. You don't know me at all, I doubt you'd even have known my name - not that I'm knocking you for it. We were just worlds apart.I'm not going to say I miss you - how can I miss someone I didn't know? But that doesn't stop the heartache at the loss of your life.Reading what people say about you makes me feel so lonely. You are so completely loved. It's an amazing and beautiful thing. There is a physical pain in my chest every time I read a post from your family - your sister especially; for the sadness in your families words.

Death at your age is too difficult to understand. Especially when it is that sudden. It's beyond comprehension. People find me weird when they happen to have found me crying at your site - particularly when they find out that I didn't know you. They don't understand how I can feel so sad about someone that I never even spoke to.
Maybe it is weird. Story of my life that one. But I don't care. You shouldn't have lost your life. It's no-ones fault but it just shouldn't have happened. There is still too much that you were to do. Your passing has left a dent in my heart (and massive holes in many peoples I am sure) and physical change in the way my mind looks on life.

My heart goes out, truly, to your whole family. Not in a corny way. Just in as much as that when I read their words I cry; although I am worlds apart from them as I was/am from you, I cry for their loss.

Take Care Daniel Burt. My tears and thoughts are with you. And I think they always will be.

P.S. Knowing how easily and suddenly your life was taken makes me tread on eggshells everyday because I am afraid that I will lose someone close to me. I think it would land me in a padded cell.

Your family and friends are amazing.
