Whenever I read your posts, I am reminded of what a fucking schmuck I’ve turned into. Please, excuse me for a moment while I make your loss about my petty bullshit. But I used to be more outspoken. Now I’m careful with my words and try stupidly hard to appear the mature person I am not. And my daughter isn't here for me to complain to so here I am, sucking up space in the comments section. What a disjointed string of sentences this is. Fuck. I am sorry for your loss. Great post. I have words to rewrite.
A perfectly conceived eulogy. The last paragraph was so important. "There will be no other Craig." That is a fact. You will feel his loss forever and that is all right! Your grief will not abate, you will simply make room for the grief in your life.
We could make you an honorary member of the Caribunkle Boys, this group of guys I’ve been climbing mountains and drinking beer with for 25 years, and all you have to do become an official member is come climb a mountain with us. We’ll still drink beer (or Old Fashioneds) with you if you don’t climb a mountain. Nice piece. I’m sorry you lost your friend. A good friend is worth everything.
I am sorry for your loss. It was an exceptional piece you wrote of emotions, heartache, love, loneliness but also happiness, a sense of unity, brotherhood, family and all the joy of having a friend like that. I wish you the best in the journey ahead of you, living through your memories, I hope you find comfort in the best days you spent together.
I love the truth that typos tell, so I was going to make a heartfelt shout out to the “string moral compass”… but by the end that heart was breaking too, right along with yours
I have to be honest and say I’ve bought quite a few of those books. I always get a few pages in and then think: “what a fucking wanker!” Not only for the author, but for my gullible twat of a mind. Craig clearly was awesome.

At least you turned into a schmuck; I've been one forever.
Go rewrite. It helps. I don't know why.
It does help. I don't know why either. I should shut my phone off.
Oh hell, now I love Craig, you AND that dog dammit.
I'll just skip my comment because yours is all that's needed. <3

Thanks for the offer, Tom. If I ever decide to pack it all in and die, falling drunk off a cliff, I'll give you a call.
All drinking happens after climbs are complete! Still loved your piece about friendship
Good idea. Safety first and all.
Thanks, Tom, I appreciate the offer.
No one who reads this post will ever think they needed a book about how to live their best life.
I had a friend once. I remember. He was an asshole. I miss him.
Best eulogy ever. The world was lucky to have Craig in it.

I am sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing for you and everyone who loved him.
I am your best BFF. Trust me. I shall prove it to you shortly. But for now. Trust me.
Oh man, sending love ❤️

Uh oh. I own three cats.
YAY, fellow cat person in the comments!😊
Very sorry for your loss. This is hands down the best eulogy I’ve ever read. I think they need a new category just for this.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Craig was the best of friends.
