I have been in love with Daniel's music from the first time I heard him sing. I have every album and CD and I treasure them with all my heart. I always felt we were kindred souls as we have the same birthday. Something small, but I knew every word to all of his songs. Then in 2002 I found out that I had cancer.During all of my chemo sessions, I had Dan's music on my CD player and it soothed the pain and sickness away. I was given a 5-7 year life sentence. I was devastated. I made a "wish" list and at the top of the list was to get to see Dan in concert. My best friend drove me 400 miles, held me up, and took me to our seats. She had promised me that she would get me there if at all possible. As I sat there with tears streaming down my face, I could feel the peace that his beautiful voice was sending through my soul. I was able to get an autograph....never ever thinking that he would go before me. I still listen to his music daily and thank God that I have beat my odds. I owe a lot of this to the strength that he gave me through his music. Rest In Peace Daniel.
He was my strength..
