I find it sad in this day and age that the only reason certain people come up on a Google search is for their obituary. That's how I found out about my grandma. I missed the funeral. It was my second week of college and she was practically dead anyway due to Huntington's disease. It is so cold and unforgiving of me to say that. At the moment a calming has set across my body. I cannot tell if it is rage or sleep deprivation. But the more I remember my foolishness for not going to the funeral, the more I feel ashamed and intensely apologetic to the rest of my family. I need to go to my grandfather's funeral.

At one point during the week my aunt shelley mentioned that my grandpa had two birth certificates for some reason and one said that his first name was Walter and the other said his first name was Vladimir. I'm pretty sure he was born in the U.S. I'll have to confirm that with my dad. I also found out he tried out for the Chicago Cubs, but had to leave during the tryouts because my grandma wanted him to come home. My Aunt Shelley also said his favorite point in his life was when he was playing baseball for the Marines. My dad confirmed that with his expression.
