My encounters with Danny have been few and far between. Unfortunately we never seem to be in the same place at the same time as of late. But I can say that we have had a pretty decent phone/text/email relationship off and on for a couple of years now. I always found his appreciation for the little things in life to be so refreshing, I felt as though he never took anything for granted and that was inspiring to me. I’ve recently moved to Maui where everyone has a strong belief that if you manifest good things they will surely happen. My spirituality and belief in manifestations and positive thoughts and energy has really grown in my two short months of living here. The locals here say that if you go to the beach and stare at the ocean long enough with patience and sincerity you can manifest anything. Since I heard about Danny’s accident I’ve made sure to do just that. I will sit on that beach and stare at those waves manifesting his full recovery and asking whatever ocean gods that are out there for their help in speeding up the process. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be shredding again in no time and when this happens I’ll be sure to come visit because life’s too short to only have texting and email memories with Danny.
