“Apparently my dear Dad was the glue that held our family together, because it has totally disintegrated after his passing in 1999,” writes our submitter in Massachusetts.
After years of putting up with “greedy demands, backstabbing, and sheer fuckery amongst the moochers in the clan,” our submitter recently visited her father’s grave to discover this unsigned note perched on top. (Underneath it, she presumes, her Dad was rolling over.)

…. Did they expect the deceased Granpa to take the note?
Might be more than just family strife going on here!

“unsigned note”? Pretty sure it says “Love, [name illegible]” at the bottom there.

Hey, this sounds like my family, except my “granpa” is still alive to witness all this crap.

What the ever loving fuck? I mean, even with the grudge of the century going on, how can someone stoop *that* low?

I’m feeling the self-loathing in the note- “thankful you’re not here to see this.”
“This” being me leaving a PA note that is *just* vague enough to stir up trouble so that I can steal all the money out of the trust while the rest of the family is fighting.

Oh my. I don’t feel right about laughing at something like this. There are certain lines that you just don’t cross, and leaving PA notes on a grave is a huge red line not to be crossed.

It could be worse. I need to rummage through my moms stuff to find the super passive if not aggressive note a few of my aunts and one uncle signed. It was saying how after my grandfather died we were all being compared as apple to oranges. What does that mean?

I don’t know…unless the submitter knows something about the context of the note that we don’t, I don’t find it very passive aggressive. In fact, it seems rather heartfelt. And people do leave notes on graves quite frequently. You’d be surprised the things people leave.

Now surely I’m not the only one who’d be tempted to find some of gramp’s old stationary and write a reply back?

What the note should say is “Grandpa you are fucking delicious!”

“hope you have been…”???
Retooled?
Refitted?
Retching?
Reeling and arocking?
What?

Hmm. On the one hand, ‘talking’ to Grandpa at the grave might have been better than leaving a note–but frankly, I feel sorry for the note-writer. Considering the ‘Grandpa’ to the posters’ ‘dad’ (not to mention the poster’s comments on the whole thing), I’m betting this is one of the kids in the family upset with how the ‘adults’ are behaving, and expressing it the only way they can think of without making things worse for themselves. :-/
