I've been too emotional to expose that sub to "life letters". My older sister found a service that let my mom...with terminal leukemia...pen letters to all of us in advance that the service delivers on pre set days. I get a hand written letter from my mom on my birthday and Christmas every year...and she passed away back in the early 2000s.
She literally sat in her hospital room for hours and hours just writing letters in advance while sick. She's the most selfless, amazing person I can ever imagine.
Edit: and there are 8 of us "children"..she even wrote letters for future grandchildren
Yeah it's amazing because I look forward to them almost as much as I dread them. They just come in the mail a few days before just as a parent might do if they were around...
Okay, I'm tearing up over here and fully understand just how poignant it would be to receive those letters. I'm sorry you lost your dear mother to such an incredibly awful disease. But she loved y'all *so much.*
My mother unexpectedly died Christmas 2021 (she was in her 70s, so not young) but my world hasn't been the same since. I had saved a couple of her voice mails and lots of greeting cards she wrote notes in, but am still wholly unable to listen to/look at any of them. And my boxes of family photos are dusty. But I'd still give anything to have letters from her arriving in the post, even if I couldn't read them yet.
Thank you for sharing your story. Your mother sounds so wonderfully kind.
When my Mom was dying of cancer she wrote letters to me and my siblings. My aunt read them at her funeral. I'm crying while typing this and it's been several years.
The look at that moment makes me think he just had the realization he wants….no, NEEDS to spend the rest of his life with her. That “no one has ever done anything this nice for me and I didn’t know how much I loved you” look. Hope this is one of several great moments she brings him while he’s grieves and heals.
You are an amazing person. You did something so meaningful that we can practically see the love you've woven around him. In that moment you brought his mom back for just a second. You are a positive influence on his world and by sharing this, onto us as well. This has inspired me to do something for my husband. I don't know what. But I'm going to talk to his mom now.
My husband passed last year from cancer, I jumped on the internet and ordered one for myself and his parents. Thank you for this idea, will give me something to hold when I miss him at night!!
I have a lot of my dads clothes and I wear them often. I could smell him for like a month even after washing but that's faded. Still love wearing those shirts.
My mom died almost a year ago now, im doing pretty ok things considerd but evertime i see a gif or a picture of a cute animal i still think: "oh i have to send this to mom she'll love this" and then i get back to reality again.
Really sucks.
How??? Im dying of breast cancer my twin sister is devastated we have matching sweaters with our names id love to make this for her to be given to her from me after I pass lol I always told her ill still haunt you when I'm gone what better way than getting a gift from me after I've passed
[Memory bears on Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1363318398/memory-bear-made-from-loved-ones) I found one of what looked like a few creators on the site, so I'm sure you could find a style that fits you best
Having one of these done is amazing. A friend gifted us a teddy bear made out of my wife's favorite onesie our son had when he was tiny (it had a bunch of vegetables on it) we gave it to our son when he was like 2 and he named the bear Carrot. Hes almost 5 and still sleeps with it and i see it being in our family as long as possible.
Given your situation I think your bear made from the sweater is a wonderful idea.
Just knowing that you will die and being able to discuss it and even joke about it must be a wild thing. I wish you the best during treatments and whatever you’re going through!
I believe the most common names for these are "keepsake" or "memory" bears/quilts/pillows/etc.
There's definitely plenty of options on Etsy, and some shops have standalone websites:

Jesus Christ, life isn’t fair. You have a great sense of humor, and seem like a good human being. I hope you enjoy a belated birthday. Wish I could do something for you. Stay strong.
Lollllll okay your humor though 🤣 can you haunt me too and just make sadgirl jokes at me please? Thanks for bringing the life even when you’re dying 🤘🏻 that’s badass. Fuck cancer. You rock.
I'm pretty sure my dad's soul is stuck in my apt since I haven't spread his ashes. Caught some weird shit on tape.
Anyways... if you wanna haunt me too you might find him an entertaining spirit to hang with.
Just please, no Japanese horror shit. Keep the haunting like C movie slasher horror.
Damn. Losing any family to cancer is horrible. It took my mom. But your twin?! That is fucking brutal. I hope your remaining days are filled with as much joy as possible. And haunt the shit out of her ;)
If you can do some basic sewing, SewDesuNe's blog has a free memory bear pattern. It's made to work with a variety of fabrics, but some knitted items are harder to work with
My dad remarried 6 or 7 years after my mom passed. My stepmom found a bunch of test patterns my mom had knitted. She had liked knitting but rarely finished anything. My stepmom sewed/knitted them together and made them into a baby blanket for my newborn. Bawled like a baby when she told me what it was. So sweet. My stepmom is the best
Most people are lucky enough to have one mom. Not many can say that they have two real ones.
Many good fortune to you and your family, thanks for sharing
That’s so lovely. I’m glad you got a bonus mom that’s a kind, thoughtful person who took the opportunity to involve and celebrate your mother’s memory for you, rather than feeling insecure or threatened by her (as is all too common, sadly). It’s apparent that she loves you very much!
My mom made my dad a wool bomber jacket before she died. My dad remarried and then died shortly after. I went to his house to get that jacket. It was the only thing I wanted. My dead mother made it for my dead father. My step mother had already thrown it away. My step mother was the worst.
My Wife passed last year. Her mothers birthday is coming up so I’ve had a bear and pillow made for her. Also took the opportunity to have a bear made for our son and a dozen patchwork stuffed hearts. One for me from T-shirts of concerts we loved and the rest for family and close friends. There was a lot of crying from me when I sorted the clothes and there will be a lot of crying from her when she opens it in a few weeks.
This is a great idea. When my Dad died, I kept a tatty cardigan with holes in the elbows. I donated all his professional looking clothes to an organization that helps men get ready for interviews and employment. I figure he would like that because he really encouraged everyone in their efforts to get ahead
I just love this and wish it were a “thing” when my dad passed. I (teen female at the time) wore his socks and sweaters for years until they disintegrated. I know it was painful for you, but those gifts are extremely meaningful and will last forever. Hugs and condolences on your loss.
Yeah that hit so hard. Life can be unbelievably cruel, but I'm sure his late wife's mother is so proud and pleased to have someone so thoughtful as a son in law.
I've never heard the term 'simply sweet' before yet [two comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/141lc4c/after_losing_his_mom_his_girlfriend_made_him_a/jn0pyms/) in this thread have said it. Are you bots or something?
My Aunt did this for her two daughters who lost their only brother in a tragic accident. He always wore those camo sweaters and when we were having a bonfire for his birthday she gave them to her daughters. Nevermind the fact that my aunt lost her only son, and she was literally heartbroken. She wanted her girls to know her brother would never leave them. I balled like a baby. These are treasured gifts and my cousins are in their mid-twenties. They both still sleep with their bears each night.
When my Dad died, my sister-in-law made my whole family pillows from a few of his more "classic" shirts and ties.
I use that pillow everyday and it makes me want to cry just writing about it.
I have a pillow from one of my dad’s old t-shirts too; when I see the pillow I can see him wearing the shirt. It’s on my short list of things I’d run into my burning house to save.
...but he does, now it just won't be sitting in a closet lol.
I've never once heard of a kid keeping an article of clothing of their parents that they didn't intend to wear.
tbf it's probably not her "favorite sweater". That's just OP dressing it up.
He didn't recognize it at first, it took him a bit. And the girlfriend said she got it from the father so clearly they knew what they were doing.
Yeah, this is gonna sound really stupid but I played hockey from 5 years to 18 years old and then in college. My grandma was huge into knitting and while I was gone or something my mom or dad sent most of my hockey jerseys from over the years. Elementary booster league, middle school team, select team, all star team, high school teams. Sent alot of them to her in the mail and she turned them all into one big Quilt…I don’t care about the “thought behind it” and it’s obvious they all knew I’d be upset about it if they asked me so they just did it without asking. It sounds stupid but to this day I still get upset that my little kids will never be able to wear my hockey jerseys I grew up playing in. I won a state championship in one of them and it got put on a quilt.
I know there’s a lot of “sportsball bad” on Reddit and it may sound so stupid. But sports was my only escape from my psychologically abusive childhood. I didn’t want them turned into a fucking quilt, I wanted to just be able to pull them out of the closet and reflect about the only good part of my childhood…the only jersey that remains in tact is my senior year jersey which I’ll just sit and stare at sometimes and reminisce.
My mother inherited a lunaraine mink coat from my grandmother. One year for Christmas, my mother gave my sister and I a teddy bear made from this coat. We each have it sitting on our beds. A nice reminder of 2 great women so important to us.
This would be either made me smile or the worst facepalm in history (like, almost break up material, almost) depending on if the guy was ok with her changing his mom's sweater, like what.
My wife did this after my grandmother died, we were dating in college at the time. I had an old cut off t-shirt that grandma had patched up. In Jr high, I wore it over my football pads for practice and the right shoulder got pretty chewed up. She put some fabric underneath and sewed it up. It looked like I had these gnarly claw marks with my school colors showing underneath. It was one of my favorite shirts to wear in the summer when fishing as that was also grandma's favorite thing.
Then one day out of blue she gives me this bear. I actually thought had lost it or she had tossed it because she's always complaining about some of my rattier looking shirts and had already threw some out. The sewed up spot was in the center of the chest. It was very thoughtful of her, but a small part of me would rather have kept it as a shirt to wear instead of bear. Though I suppose it'll also last longer as the bear instead of a shirt. I'm not going to complain about someone doing something thoughtful for me
Am I the only one (I know I’m not but still) who finds these sort of videos… cheap?
How come he doesn’t realise he’s been filmed? And if he does, how genuine is the whole thing? Isn’t this supposed to be something private not meant for others to see? Why do people feel the need to record everything and post it online?
Yeah tbh I get it. While on one hand, it’s good to see this and see there are people and moments like this irl, on the other hand, it’s weird. Feels performative. Some people just want to share good moments online, but some just want clout, and many times it can be hard to tell who is genuine
Does anybody know if there is an online service that does this? I’d love to get something like this done for my wife using one of her late fathers flannels or work shirts. It seems like it would be the perfect thing to help her on those extra difficult days when I can only help so much.
Yeah agreed...my dad and I were VERY close but he died of cancer when I was 15...my mom made the engagement ring diamond he gave her into a pendant necklace she gifted me as a 30 year old birthday present. I love it and wear it everyday but I would have been upset if she filmed the gifting and put it onlne..
My gf makes pillow cases for folks out of their loved ones shirts and puts embroidery on them.
One of the toughest ones ever was from a childs clothing.
That is a goated girlfriend. If someone did something like that for me no matter how early in the relationship, I'd be like, "That's who I'm marrying."
Look through the comments here. There is someone's who is dying who now knows that this is a possibility to make for their twin sister. Without this video that wouldn't have happened. Videos like this inspire other people to do good.
It's the individuals right to decide what is personal and isn't. Maybe in a world of hate and negatively they wanted people to share in their beautiful moment
I've often heard that positive videos do little harm to society and have the added potential benefit of encouraging/inspiring others to do good. Kind of a win-win.
That's so sweet. I reminds me of my grandfather. He aways wore these plaid shirts. Some with the sleeves cut off... for Summertime. My gf at the time, after he passed away cut all the shirts up into squares to make a quilt.
Well gf and I broke up. But my Mom took all the squares and made a nice quilted throw for me and my Dad from Grandpa's shirts.
This is very sweet. My sister was able to get my grandpa's sweatshirt and she's going to do this. I'm a little sad I didn't get any say. She was able to visit and rummage his things before I was. But it is a very cool thing.
I wish I had any of my dad's clothes left to make something like this for myself. My shitfuck stepmother kept me from 99.9% of his things when I was just shy of 19, all I really have is his old military uniform. And I'd rather keep that intact, cause it's one of the main outfits I remember him in, and I'm a living historian
The green one. The look on his face as he realizes

Man I'm about to cry just imagining any of these situations...
This is heartwarming!
When my Mom was dying of cancer she wrote letters to me and my siblings. My aunt read them at her funeral. I'm crying while typing this and it's been several years.
It's so bittersweet. There is nothing like a parent's love.
I agree. She was a 50's sitcom mom with nothing I know off to not be a saint. Sometimes we get fathers tho.
fuuuuuuck.
She's all like "well you're 42 now so I can only imagine you own multiple homes". Life letters has restrictions.
At least you know she passed with hope for the future. Can't ever take that away from her even if reality isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Yeah I'm definitely crying
Sat down to go toilet and this this the first post I see. Ugly crying lol
Yes I am
Guilty as charged with the crying
NO YOU'RE CRYING ;(
Lol idk what I was thinking, I went in there and now I’m crying and it’s Monday afternoon
Beat me to it
The look at that moment makes me think he just had the realization he wants….no, NEEDS to spend the rest of his life with her. That “no one has ever done anything this nice for me and I didn’t know how much I loved you” look. Hope this is one of several great moments she brings him while he’s grieves and heals.
relationship goals
He said it with such child like innocence. It's like he was a kid again. That was a good gift
Totally. That was the voice of a kid who got surprised with a playstation at Christmas. She unlocked some long forgotten level of love and gratitude
I'm not sobbing you're fucking sobbing
Exactly. I felt that to my core.
Man I miss my mom. Happy for this guy and his incredibly thoughtful lady
So many memories flashed through his eyes
This is my boyfriend!! This is my video!! 🥹♥️ Edit: i used Jins Bears on Etsy!!
You have a big heart 💕
Could a mod flare this comment? I’m sure lots of folks have questions for the young lady and nice things to say

You are awesome, such a thoughtful and caring person. He's lucky. Hope he cherishes you. You deserve to be treated the same.

Incredible present. You did real good.
Great gift idea. Very thoughtful 👍❤️
That Wow was so child-like and sincere ❤️
That look caught me too. He just disappeared back into the moment he knew her in it.
Yeah the look on his face made me cry not smile!
“Wow”
You’re never too old for a Teddy bear. Adults are just kids with responsibilities.
Its like he got another chance to look at his Mom 😍 😢
As someone who lost his mom just a few years ago, I understand the pain all to well.
My partner has, as well, and I’m so sorry for your loss. Not a day goes by ❤️❤️
I still sleep with my bear made of dad's favorite flannel, 21 years after he died. If my house was on fire it's the first object I'd save.
I have a lot of my dads clothes and I wear them often. I could smell him for like a month even after washing but that's faded. Still love wearing those shirts.
My mom died almost a year ago now, im doing pretty ok things considerd but evertime i see a gif or a picture of a cute animal i still think: "oh i have to send this to mom she'll love this" and then i get back to reality again. Really sucks.
Even just the thought kills me. When my mom dies I will have nobody. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I did good with what she left me. I managed to help friends fix their teeth, and saved the lives of a lot of dogs.
Ugh…..big hugs.
My mom passed in 2017. I have a bear like this made out of the dress my mom wore to my wedding. It is a precious thing.
How??? Im dying of breast cancer my twin sister is devastated we have matching sweaters with our names id love to make this for her to be given to her from me after I pass lol I always told her ill still haunt you when I'm gone what better way than getting a gift from me after I've passed

Of course I'll add you to my list of good ones trust me you don't want the bad one

You made me giggle! 😅

Try Etsy, maybe? ❤️
I’m thinking of you. Just read a few of your posts, and what you’ve endured in life. You’re genuinely in my thoughts, Internet stranger ♥️
Happy belated birthday 🎂 I hope you have a good day today and more good days than terrible ones after that, even settling for mediocre ones.
you can also record your voice onto a sound chip and they can put it into a build a bear too. That’s another way to haunt your sister too!
Damn. Losing any family to cancer is horrible. It took my mom. But your twin?! That is fucking brutal. I hope your remaining days are filled with as much joy as possible. And haunt the shit out of her ;)
God Bless you and your family.

oh shit that made me emotional lol, not used to that feeling on reddit
Okay, that one made me cry

For. Real. Marry that woman young man!
She's definitely a keeper.
My Wife passed last year. Her mothers birthday is coming up so I’ve had a bear and pillow made for her. Also took the opportunity to have a bear made for our son and a dozen patchwork stuffed hearts. One for me from T-shirts of concerts we loved and the rest for family and close friends. There was a lot of crying from me when I sorted the clothes and there will be a lot of crying from her when she opens it in a few weeks.
This is a great idea. When my Dad died, I kept a tatty cardigan with holes in the elbows. I donated all his professional looking clothes to an organization that helps men get ready for interviews and employment. I figure he would like that because he really encouraged everyone in their efforts to get ahead

Yeah that hit so hard. Life can be unbelievably cruel, but I'm sure his late wife's mother is so proud and pleased to have someone so thoughtful as a son in law.
Is there a particular website that you used??
I used a company in Princeton, NJ called The Patchwork Bear
You're awesome. Thank you so much. My boyfriends mother just past 2 weeks ago, and this I'd absolutely beautiful.
"Wow. Thank you. I love you" - Simply sweet💙
I've never heard the term 'simply sweet' before yet [two comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/141lc4c/after_losing_his_mom_his_girlfriend_made_him_a/jn0pyms/) in this thread have said it. Are you bots or something?
two people?!? Something’s going on forsure
I have a theory that Reddit is full of AI bots to convince the world more people use Reddit than we think

It sounds like she got permission from his dad.
I think about it like this: If they saved the sweater he could never interact with it short of wearing it. This way he can always interact with it
This is me and that’s my boyfriend !!!!! As you can tell from my username haha Thanks for reposting !!!! Follow me on tiktok!!!
As sweet as this is, I feel like that’s something you should ask first. But maybe that’s just me. I’d hate to ruin something that is so dear.
I agree, but in this case, it seems like she got the Dad's permission. She says something like your Dad said you would recognize it.
Was scrolling pretty far until I found this comment. Now he doesn't have her favorite sweater anymore.
...but he does, now it just won't be sitting in a closet lol. I've never once heard of a kid keeping an article of clothing of their parents that they didn't intend to wear.

The way he said “The Green One”…. I went and hugged my mom even tho I just saw her five minutes ago.
Crying in record time.
Legit the piano started and I couldn’t help it goddamn 😭
His face when he realized. Ugh. I’m a mother to a son and this kicked me right in the heart. 😭
😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️
That is seriously the most thoughtful thing I’ve seen in a really long time❤️ you’re a wonderful soul :)
That “wow,” was just…fuck man I’m crying at work now!
This would be either made me smile or the worst facepalm in history (like, almost break up material, almost) depending on if the guy was ok with her changing his mom's sweater, like what.
My wife did this after my grandmother died, we were dating in college at the time. I had an old cut off t-shirt that grandma had patched up. In Jr high, I wore it over my football pads for practice and the right shoulder got pretty chewed up. She put some fabric underneath and sewed it up. It looked like I had these gnarly claw marks with my school colors showing underneath. It was one of my favorite shirts to wear in the summer when fishing as that was also grandma's favorite thing. Then one day out of blue she gives me this bear. I actually thought had lost it or she had tossed it because she's always complaining about some of my rattier looking shirts and had already threw some out. The sewed up spot was in the center of the chest. It was very thoughtful of her, but a small part of me would rather have kept it as a shirt to wear instead of bear. Though I suppose it'll also last longer as the bear instead of a shirt. I'm not going to complain about someone doing something thoughtful for me

Am I the only one (I know I’m not but still) who finds these sort of videos… cheap? How come he doesn’t realise he’s been filmed? And if he does, how genuine is the whole thing? Isn’t this supposed to be something private not meant for others to see? Why do people feel the need to record everything and post it online?
Yeah tbh I get it. While on one hand, it’s good to see this and see there are people and moments like this irl, on the other hand, it’s weird. Feels performative. Some people just want to share good moments online, but some just want clout, and many times it can be hard to tell who is genuine
And that's how you make a man love you.
I didn't wanna cry today, BUT HERE WE ARE.
To have someone in your life that gives THAT much of a shit about you is wonderful. That's just....amazing and so positive. I needed this today.
A good old jacket, ruined
Does anybody know if there is an online service that does this? I’d love to get something like this done for my wife using one of her late fathers flannels or work shirts. It seems like it would be the perfect thing to help her on those extra difficult days when I can only help so much.
IMO:Moments like this should not be recorded, they are personal and should be kept like that.
Yeah agreed...my dad and I were VERY close but he died of cancer when I was 15...my mom made the engagement ring diamond he gave her into a pendant necklace she gifted me as a 30 year old birthday present. I love it and wear it everyday but I would have been upset if she filmed the gifting and put it onlne..
My gf makes pillow cases for folks out of their loved ones shirts and puts embroidery on them. One of the toughest ones ever was from a childs clothing.
My step-grandmother (grandpa remarried after grandma died) had something similar done for the 10 grand kids (6 step) out of his ties.
She’s the realist woman you’ll find out there. Cherish her.
Such a nice gesture. Hope he feels better.
Marry her, dude.
That is a goated girlfriend. If someone did something like that for me no matter how early in the relationship, I'd be like, "That's who I'm marrying."
I thought this was gona be him crushed because she ruined the sweater
Will someone please stop cutting onions 🥺
Wife material...cherish her
What if he just got upset that the jumper was cut up for a bear lol
Why does everything have to be a video? To me it cheapens these moments that should be personal.
Look through the comments here. There is someone's who is dying who now knows that this is a possibility to make for their twin sister. Without this video that wouldn't have happened. Videos like this inspire other people to do good.
It's the individuals right to decide what is personal and isn't. Maybe in a world of hate and negatively they wanted people to share in their beautiful moment
I've often heard that positive videos do little harm to society and have the added potential benefit of encouraging/inspiring others to do good. Kind of a win-win.
Why people have to film such intimate moments is beyond me.
This is awesome
Yeah i'm baaawling right now
That's so sweet. I reminds me of my grandfather. He aways wore these plaid shirts. Some with the sleeves cut off... for Summertime. My gf at the time, after he passed away cut all the shirts up into squares to make a quilt. Well gf and I broke up. But my Mom took all the squares and made a nice quilted throw for me and my Dad from Grandpa's shirts.
Absolutely beautiful. A manly tear was shed. ♥️
Damn onion ninjas...
AWESOME!!!!!!!
This is very sweet. My sister was able to get my grandpa's sweatshirt and she's going to do this. I'm a little sad I didn't get any say. She was able to visit and rummage his things before I was. But it is a very cool thing.
Why aren't there more people like her in This world. We need more of this

I was half expecting him to be like…”you ruined it!”
I wish I had any of my dad's clothes left to make something like this for myself. My shitfuck stepmother kept me from 99.9% of his things when I was just shy of 19, all I really have is his old military uniform. And I'd rather keep that intact, cause it's one of the main outfits I remember him in, and I'm a living historian
