I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
Please don't make fun of people's pain.

I'm sorry grandpa for not asking you more about your WW2 service where you just spent years cruising around the Carribean in merchant ships. You probably had some cool stories about prostitutes and bananas.

I wish I tried to stay in contact with my brother in the last few years preceding his death. He was a hosed up little troll but :shrug:

To my paternal grandparents: gently caress you. What kind of pieces of poo poo doesn't want anything to do with their grandkids?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Why won't you stop haunting me? You're dead and buried, I threw the dirt down MYSELF and yet every night you walk through my manor. Each morning I find your favorite book placed upon your favorite chair, as though you were alive and spent the night reading it.

My days are filled with melancholy as I write sweet poems to you, my dear departed. And each night is vision of terror as I wait for the day you decide to enter our bedroom and creep into bed with me. Would I welcome the sweet release of madness that would surely accompany this? I suppose I would, at this point in my dreary existence.

Foul spirit! Mockery of my dead beloved!

To my my grandma, who was so proud to be 100% Irish, raised on the southside of Milwaukee during tough years:
I was just thinking about you the other day.
There's a story from when just after her and my grandpa got married and got their own place, I don't know if it was where my mom was born and raised or not, I don't think so, but, anyway. She and grandpa had some people over for dinner, and over dinner during some loud conversation over some news and political stuff, my grandpa's brother (so, her new brother-in-law) said something to the effect of "well you know them drat n-" to someone else in passing. This was probably the late forties or so, all white company. It wasn't a polite thing to say, but, you could imagine that it wouldn't be ENTIRELY unexpected to hear given the time, the place, the topics, etc. Well, she gets up, small, Irish lady. Grabs this big Polish guy by the shirt collar and says "You get the HELL out of MY house, and don't you EVER come back." And walked him right out the front door by it.
See what he didn't know was, despite being a nice white girl from Milwaukee, my grandma's dad basically rode the rails from Milwaukee to Chicago (and beyond) doing odd jobs during the depression and was never home (he was a bum), and her mom was just sort of 'there'. When her mom wasn't there, my grandma was taken care of by a wonderful African American woman and her family for a good long time as a little girl. And she didn't have time for THAT bullshit.
Took probably 20+ years to get him back in her good graces, I think, from what's told.

To her husband, my grandpa,
Thank you for teaching me how to golf, how to score baseball, how to bowl, how to split wood, why you were such a strict Catholic (even though your first daughter was conceived out of wedlock you SLY FOX), why it's important to respect other cultures ("When we were kids, if we spoke Polish at home, dad beat us, so I don't remember none" ...yeah), the stories you wouldn't tell about the Navy, and..a lot more.

I miss you both very much.

Well. That's my serious post for the thread. Thanks.
