Cancer

It's amazing how it can destroy an exuberant human being...to his deathbed in a matter of days.

Craig is my friend, co-worker, and team leader.
He always has the nicest compliments to give every time that you see him.
No matter how much work he has to complete, if you walk into his office about anything (work related or personal) he'll give his undivided attention and reflective thoughts on the matter.
I've never seen this man get angry. He is one of the most caring and compassionate people that I know.

On Christmas day, he found out that he had cancer in his bones and lungs. He was told that he would not live much longer than a couple of months (that's generous). I visited him at the hospice center where he is now staying. You can see death in his face. I don't think he'll live longer than a week.

I'm glad I got to say goodbye. I will miss him. I'll miss our chats in the office about his days in the Army and when he was married. It makes me so sad that our world will not be blessed with his life and good deeds any longer.
