Ode to a Man I Barely Knew

My grandpa Manny (my mom's dad's brother) died four days ago. He left behind a wife, grandma Violy, and no kids. He was 60.

He also left a note before he put a bullet in his head.

I know--what the f*ck???

I never knew anyone who killed themselves, let alone in my family. God, it still creeps me out just thinking about it.

Grandpa Manny seemed like the last person on Earth to do what he did--he was a funny guy, always cheerful, and he was just enjoying his retirement, going around the US and Europe.

Jeesh. We never know, don't we?

Well, grandpa, wherever you are, I hope you're happier in that life than you were in this one.

Jeesh.
