"I leave for a place from where no one returned. I've been weak and helpless in so many battles ... But I just wanted to live, I wanted to have a sweet family, a loving, understanding and strong spouse, and I wanted to be engaged in doing my favourite thing ... To enjoy the future built for children ... I wanted a calm old age ... Well, let me be the last ... Forgive me and mention me in your prayers. I leave! Your Besik (Tato) Dugashvili," wrote the artist.
In case of his discovery, members of his family ask to contact the police or the Emergency Management Agency, the "News-Georgia" reports.
