Craig Gallacher was my best friend. In the time I knew him he helped me through some dark times in my life. He shown faith in me when it seemed everyone else in the world had written me off and cast me aside. In all honesty I thought the two of us would live to old age, laughing at the world, and enjoying life as best we all could. Then in 2005 he was diagnosed with Cancer. At first he fought it and it was being beaten back, It was hard to watch this and I thought he would beat it. Then in the Summer of 2006 he was told it was progressing aggressively. He decided to tell us that he had been given a prognosis. Roughly ten weeks later he died in the Beatson Unit at Glasgow Western Infirmary, 20th August 2006. We all felt the loss that day. It left a hole in all our lives that we couldn't fill. How are you supposed to react to the death of a dear friend? He had a saying when he was alive: 'Keep it Fun!' It was something he lived up to every day, even during treatment. Sometimes he would act goofy just to make his friends smile, and I'll always remember that about him. I remember this every day. Even when the day's gone to all to hell and everything's gone wrong I can still imagine him saying something reassuring and/or funny, and it just gets me a little further through the day. I think that sometimes he's watching my back still, when it feels like no one else is.
