    Touching. It's a reminder to all to treat all people like they want to be treated instead of being cruel to those less fortunate.

    Everyone needs a "Craig" in their life. Not so that they will be left lots of stuff in a will, but someone to inspire them, to lead them, to be in their corner, even if they don't know it.

    I can only hope to be someone's "Craig" someday

    I want to read this but I'm afraid to... People are saying it is sad and involves bullying . So Im afraid the ending will be suicide . I'm not sure I can handle a story like that at this time .. Are my assumptions correct ?

    That's the first source I know of it, where I found it. Don't know if it was written by the owner or not.

    That was very touching. Makes one think twice about how they should treat people for sure.

    People can be so ****ing cruel. This is an incredible story, thanks for sharing. Out of curiousity, did he know he was ill, that he knew to leave you a letter like that?

    Yes, there are many folks doing the best they can but getting no respect. I certainly cannot say that I am always as compassionate as I should. But stories like these help to remind me that all is not as it appears. It also reminds me of another long post (actually a commencement address given by author David Foster Wallace), it can be found at http://moreintelligentlife.com/story/david-foster-wallace-in-his-own-words.

    Awesome story and a great testament that you never know who a person is or where they come from or even what they have to offer to you and the world until you get involved in their lives!!! Thank you for sharing (and making me cry)!!!!
