Daniel

The story begins with the birth of Daniel and his early life. Daniel’s early years with Jonathan and Katherine Ellington were wonderfully loving years. His parents supported his love for music and encouraged his desire to play the piano. He soon became a virtuoso at the age of 7 years old. He was welcome to the international stage and his talents were renown. He attended the Royal Academy of Music and furthered his career and social life. He met two young men with similar passions and desire to succeed. They became his best friends and influenced his young life. As years passed Daniel confronted tragedy in his life, first with the death of the mother of his dear friends, and then with the loss of his own mother and loving father. He was able to move on from his loss and attended The Juilliard School for his undergraduate studies. Upon completion of his degree he continued his studies for a doctorate in music at Columbia University in NYC. As a young and inexperienced young man he was fated to meet and marry a young woman, Priscilla, that took advantage of his wealth. He was offered a teaching position at The Juilliard School and his fate changed when he met Josette Ann Harrington, a young and talented student. Their relationship grew over the four years they spent together. They became good friends and a strong bond of love developed between them. Daniel was named the Dean of The Juilliard School, a dream come true. Unfortunately for Daniel, Josette chose to leave to avoid terminating his dream through potential gossip. As Josette traveled the world and succeeded in her career, Daniel began to fail and fall into depression. A bottle helped him get through the day and his drinking led to the loss of all, his position at Juilliard, his marriage, and his ancestral NYC home. Priscilla saw to it that he had nothing left but to live on the streets of the city. A pastor of a local church, Father Edward found Daniel and helped him rediscover who he was. He followed Father Edward’s teachings and example and became the 'angel of the streets'. With time he found his calling. He helped and adopted a young man in need of a father called David. He continued his work with the homeless and his music. He found Josette or more so she found him and they planned their life together
