He asked to be remembered for what was good about him…

…so I will take the easy route and share this line from Andrew Olmsted’s posthumous letter, which I wish I hadn’t gotten to read:

But all the tears in the world aren’t going to bring me back, so I would prefer that people remember the good things about me rather than mourning my loss. (If it turns out a specific number of tears will, in fact, bring me back to life, then by all means, break out the onions.)

I didn’t know Andrew personally, but I enjoyed his writing, and am sad he’s gone.
