Craig
Jason's older brother died this week. They don't know why yet, but it looks like natural causes.
It's beyond awful.
I've been hovering aimlessly on
tribe today, between work tasks, sort of waiting for the announcement.
I'm really glad I got to know him. He was a big, earnest, sometimes-dorky, incredibly warm guy. If you met him, you knew he was genuinely interested in what you had to say. I loved driving him home on Christmas, chatting and receiving the ritual "I love you guys" as farewell. I felt like I
was family to Craig, and I don't care how lame it sounds: I cherished that feeling.
I was dealing with my own family this weekend, and I thought about J's folks. I remember thinking "dangit, I don't get to spend holidays with Craig anymore".
And, dangit, now none of us do.
