I just want to say a huge thank you to the Hawkesbury for all the love and support you’ve shown me after my story appeared in the Hawkesbury Gazette.
Since then, I’ve received hundreds of congratulatory messages from friends, neighbours, and even people I didn’t know, and it has made me feel so proud. My mum and dad are really proud too, and we’ve been reading every single message together.
“Dan actually burst into tears as he listened to the comments,” said close friend Carren Maris. “So many people spoke of his cheerful nature, his giving heart, and the way he always brightens the room. It meant the world to him to know just how much the community values him.”
I’ve always tried to be cheerful and helpful wherever I can, and to know that people notice and appreciate that is really special. The Hawkesbury is such a wonderful place, filled with kind and supportive people, and I’m lucky to call it home.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for every kind word and every message. You’ve all made me feel like the proudest man in the Hawkesbury.
