The Death of Grand-Pa
In 2012, on December 16, Daniel's Grandfather died. Having lived with him his whole life, this was a huge impact on him. He felt alone, like the world had turned on him. In a passage he wrote in college, he stated " I left without a word, and I ran, I ran and I ran, I called my best friend and told him what had happened, then I sat and wept. December 16, 2012 the day I lost my friend, the day I lost my papa. We cremated him, he always said he wanted to live long enough to see Colorado’s spring one last time, so we buried his ashes in may. Right before my birthday."
