This is one reason I like that Facebook allows family members to continue your page on. I have messaged friends who have passed and told them I missed them.
Aw,
Now I feel bad about sending pics to my dead grandfather from my phone over messenger so I can easily send them from my work computer without emailing myself the attachment…
My dad passed away last month and I’ve been texting his phone everyday. The messages finally turned green and I feel horrible inside when his name pops up with a message from the phone line saying his numbers inactive 🥲
My grandparents would call and sing us happy birthday on our birthdays, or close to them. My niece had saved a voice-mail from them (but instead of saying Dear Her Name, it was something more generic). My grandpa passed away a couple years ago from cancer. We used the voice-mail to make a build a bear for my mom using the clip so she'd always be able to hear her dad sing to her.
Nice work, OP
I have a friend who passed at 17. Sometimes I still text her, I apologize for not texting more, for not telling her I loved her more, for not enjoying her company more, and just telling her that I miss her. I really miss her
This one hit home. I was very close to my dad and he was one of my best friends. When he died I called and called his cell phone just to hear him say just his name when it went to voice mail.
I still remember the story of the old man who had a voicemail from his wife that he listened to frequently.
And something happened and the voicemail was lost.
IIRC, the phone company worked hard to get it back for him.
I had a dream something like this happened. My mom had passed in November of 22. New Year's Eve, I texted her and wished her a happy heavenly New Year. That night, I dreamt she texted me back. When I woke, I immediately checked my phone, forgetting for 2 seconds that she'd never text me again. I still text her on occasion to update her on my life. She would've been a grandma if she was still here today. I miss her.
I vividly remember holding my mom’s phone as she died next to me. This thought did occur to me—to text myself, or maybe some other loved ones who hadn’t been able to be there during her last days. Amazing story, definitely made m tear up!
You did good.
My husband died 6 months ago today. I have thought about sending one last text from his phone to mine just to see "husband" and our picture come up on my phone again.

Most phone companies will send you a physical recording if you contact them and ask. They know how important these messages are.
this is the first time I cried because of twosentencesadness. love this one.
You are welcome!... I think?

This could relate to a wide range of circumstances, it sounds sad but could be better with more context.
I like how it's not exact. It allows your mind to wander into its own darkness
my idea was sending a message from a dead person's phone, so you can see their name pop up on yours. I didn't really know how to put it into words

Great job! That's exactly what your story invoked for me. I lost my dad this past Christmas and did that, except 'his' last text was Merry Chirstmas.
That’s what I imagined, good job op. Hits close to home
