Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
We buried you last week. Grandpa, I know it had been hard on you ever since Grandma died. Grandma, it had been hard on me ever since you died. But I'm glad you're together now.
Grandma, I still feel really bad that I didn't visit you in the hospital as much as I had wanted to. You were always there for me when I was a kid, I was just hoping you'd always be there for me now that I'm an adult. I know all I did was make excuses - yeah, you were the skinniest I had ever seen you, your hair wasn't done, you had no make up on, and the fact that you didn't look like you had every time I had seen you before scared me. I pretended to busier with work and school than I actually was. The hospital was right down the street from school. I drove by it at least once a day. After you died, I still drove by the hospital. I wish I had stopped in more.
Grandma, I'm especially sorry you didn't get to meet Jon. We met about 3 days after you died. I always thought you'd be at my wedding, sitting in the front row, next to Grandpa, both of you smiling. But now you'll only be there in spirit. I wish you could have stuck around, if only for purely selfish reasons. You always were one of my favorite family members. I wish you could be there when I have my first child. I look at pictures of you and Grandpa holding me as a baby, and I wish you could hold my children.
I won't ever forget you Grandma. My first daughter will bear your name.
Grandpa, I didn't even know you were sick. I guess that's what I get for running off to Europe. What gets to me the most was that you died just three days before I came home. I even had this feeling that I should come home early, but I figured a few extra days wouldn't matter one way or the other. But it did, Grandpa. After Jon and I got to my parents' house, I saw your car outside, and I was excited, I thought you were there with my family. But instead, I was met by your old belongings. It was a bittersweet homecoming - I was glad to be home, but I was sad that I had missed you.
I learned so much about you two at the memorial service. Grandpa, you were incredibly brave, flying 285 missions during the Korean War, with a wife and three young kids waiting for you at home. You received so many medals and honors, including two Purple Hearts. Grandma, you looked so beautiful in your old pictures, like a movie star. I always knew in the bottom of my heart how much you loved each other, but to see it, to see you two always hugging, smiling at each other, and just being happy to be around each other. I hope Jon and I have that. You two were the epitome of high school sweethearts - married for 61 years before you died, Grandma. That's a lot to live up to.
Grandpa, I didn't know you were the first in your family to graduate college. It makes me proud to know that I got my degree from the same school you did. I understand even more now why you always wanted to know how my school was going.
Grandpa, I am so happy that you did meet Jon, and that you approved of him. I remember you teasing me ever since I was about 14, asking me how many boyfriends I had. Sometimes it got annoying, and I tried to make you mad. I'm sorry for that now. I could tell you were happy that I finally found a great guy, and Jon really did love you. I'm so glad you got along, however briefly it was.
I wish I could talk to you both one more time. I just want to wrap up some things I don't think you ever knew. Grandma, you always had oyster crackers for me when I came to visit. I love those crackers. Grandpa, I wish I could have found out from you all the stories behind your Army ribbons.
My dad said that when he mixed your ashes together that day at sunrise, he could hear you two laughing together. I hope that's how you are now, and forever.

You're still an alter, but I can't give anything with oyster crackers less than a +1.

pssst, generally accepted rules for Uber
1. New female users should on no account mention their gender on pain of being called a slut for no aparent reason.
2. male users who give these posts +ve ratings will be accused of trying to get into new users panties (most wouldnt say no but thats not the point)
3. one post a day.
4. camwhores early in your ubercareer are frowned upon.
5. anyone getting on most heated with their first post will be accussed of being an alter.

This would be more poignant and meaningful if it wasn't directly preceded by an "I have big boobs" post.

You know, it's ironic. All those heroic things your granddad did and now that he's dead, he can't even move to avoid my penis in his butthole.

I meant you, my dear.
And I play PS2 also, from time to time. I think you know what type of user I'm referencing.

Mixed feelings on this.
On one hand, the loss of loved ones can bring out all types of emotions, such as those expressed here. On another, this was overly cheesy (ashes laughing, constant anthropomorphism, etc.) and could only really be appreciated if you were eugugolizing your grandparents with it (what? you didn't think I knew what a eugugoly was?).
So, if this is true, then I am sorry for you loss and please don't confuse my honesty with malevolence

eugugoly, hahahahahahahaha, that made me laugh out loud. Zoolander rocks!!

Tom, I'm a pretty respectable person and I too pride myself on being a decent person. However, I see no need to NOT be rude to a vapid slore like this one. However, you raised an interesting point without actually saying it:
Her grandparents are in no way responsible for her actions, so I take back what I said about them. But I stand by everything else.

I kinda agree with Tom, although cursing your grandparents is pretty rude. Sometimes I pride myself in knowing how to behave like a decent human. All things aside, sorry for your loss.

"Grandma, I'm especially sorry you didn't get to meet Jon. We met about 3 days after you died."
Sounds like you were really broken up after her death.
You're fucked on this site now. No one will ever take you seriously. Well, except for the poor loser boys who can't wash the orange from their Cheetos off of their fingers, get up from the computer or the Playstation 2 and get out into the world and go on dates with real women.

A brief summary of Jessica's Uber-career thus far.
----
Hello, my name is Jessica and I am another in a long line of attention whores who have discovered Ubersite. After visiting and reading for a while, I noticed that some of the guys on here are so lonely that they'll fall all over themselves and swoon like a lost puppy whenever a girl shows up. I want to post here and be well-liked, but how should I start off?
Perhaps with a well-written piece of fiction? Nah, that won't do. Possibly a two thousand word diatribe about politics and the state of our country? Nope. That's not my thing either.
I have an idea, how about 13 reason why I hate my HUGE breasts!! YEA! That will get me noticed. My HUGE boobs this. My HUGE boobs that. I'm skinny with HUGE boobs. Oh, look at this picture of me and my HUGE boobs. Everyone come look at me and my HUGE boobs.
Ok, now that some people think I'm attractive, I will finally post something with actual content because I know many of these idiots will give me a positive rating based on that alone rather than what I have to say.
------------
In conclusion, fuck your Grandparents. Fuck your HUGE boobs. Fuck the bras that hold them. And finally, fuck you. Fuck you right in your stupid fucking attention-whore ass.

Reading this after seeing your last couple of posts leads me to ask just one question.
Who the hell is this Jon fella?

Open letter to people who write Open letters,
The title of your post will always suck if it is in this format, and prevent me from taking it seriously.
