The mum of a teenager who tragically lost his life in a moped crash on the ring road last year has shared what life has been like almost a year on. Samantha Davies said the passing of her beloved son Daniel Davies “still feels surreal”, months after his untimely death at the age of just 16.
He died in a collision with a car on the A4174 through-about near Warmley, on the evening of April 17. She said: “I look at photos of him and think he's just out with his girlfriend and then I have days where I realise he's never coming back, I will never talk to him or hold him in my arms again.”
The 55-year-old described how she misses the sound of his “booming deep” laughter and his hugs. “I miss him like crazy - he was my boy and it's not fair that his future was taken away from him,” she added. But she has been touched by the kindness of strangers, including one whose wholesome gesture left her "in awe".
