i and 2 other mates call each other “blade” in honor of the one and only Blade (Wesley Snipes) — I don’t know why either.
one of the blade trios just had a death in the family. we’ve known each other for more than 2 decades, treat each other like siblings. One of the blade’s brother passed away, and it was heartbreaking for the family.
being such good friends we decided to send our love through some sympathy flowers. had them delivered to the funeral home, with that huge ribbon with a print saying “LOVE, BLADES”. thoughtful right! let our best mate know we love him.
when we entered the funeral, there was a huge commotion. The mother was freaking out about some flowers. “Who put them in front?” “Who would send these?!?” “What kind of monster would do this”
that’s when we found out he died by suicide…..with a blade….
PS a cousin saved the day and say “oh that’s probably from one of our hardware suppliers”
PPS his mother already hated me before this, don’t want to give her more reasons
tldr: didn’t know our friend’s family member died by suicide with a blade and we sent flowers signed “love, blades”
