Description
This boy has had one of the most tumultuous months it is possible to have.

Our dear, dear friend Stuart killed himself a little over two weeks ago. He was the brightest person we'd ever met. He was 19.

Daniel and he dated for some time - a deep, passionate, tempestuous love. Daniel made the most extraordinary speech at his funeral, a speech that floored the thousand-strong mourners gathered there. Since that fateful Saturday, he's been living with me, and we're helping each other take the tiny steps each day to put our lives back together. I've never been closer to him.

Daniel is a truly gifted, intuitive and powerful theatre director, and throughout this chaos, he's been through the interview and audition process for the directing course at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts. He's been shortlisted for the course. I'm sure he'll get in.

There is something beautiful and poignant about the moments of happiness in grief. And this day, we had a house full of wonderful, intelligent, sad people who came together to play music, enjoy the sun and rehearse monologues for NIDA auditions.

This boy is a soldier.
