To this day, if someone in my family dies from natural causes, I think they’re lucky. I’m definitely the wrong guy to come to for sympathy when it comes to that.  Why is it sad that someone older who lived a full life passed away peacefully in their bed? What’s truly sad is when a young person is killed violently before they had a chance to live.

I am never going to shed a tear for a celebrity or someone like that, and if it’s an older family member I’m going to say that at least they lived a full life. My grandmother passed away recently. My sister started to cry in front of me that day, and I had to ask her, “What are you crying about?”

I understand that things like that affect people, but as a veteran, I don’t think I’ll ever feel quite like they do.  What do you think?
