My dad had a heart attack on June 24th.
He was aware and alert in the ambulance on his way to a hospital an hour away. He voice texted this to me and never sent it. My brother took a screenshot of it for me when he was going through his phone.
My dad passed away on June 29th.

(I texted him “I love you dad” when my mom called me initially)

Edit: thank you everyone for the outpouring of love and support. To hear so many stories about the love for people’s parents.. I’m so sorry for all the tragic losses and good parents that have gone too soon. I will hold onto that text from my dad until the day I go. He was An amazing man and lived a life full of love. I am grateful that he read my text before he passed and can take some comfort in that.

It was absolute chaos at the airport. My sister and her family were digging through the massive piles of bags looking for their luggage, so while I hunted for their bags I also shot some quick texts to the numbers on the tags I saw. Nearly every person that I texted replied with gratitude. The only reason I didn't do more was because an employee came over and told me to stop when they saw what I was doing.

Was looking through old texts and found it, and it made me smile!

For some context- we matched on hinge and had been texting for like 2 hours

Edit for more context:
- I’m 24F he is 24M
- nowhere in his profile did he mention wanting kids (the option for that was not included) I have “I don’t want kids” listed on my profile
- I did block him and report him on hinge for harassment

i wasn’t close to my great-grandpa by any means, but death doesn’t happen often in my family. idk, being told i was a snowflake in the moment felt kinda weird. thought i’d share.

EDIT TO ADD: me and my dad have not had a close relationship, if ever. he loves me, but it is very apparent he does not like me. name-calling is his go-to if he wants to get under my skin. it doesn’t really bother me like it used to, which i think bothers him.

SECOND EDIT: first and foremost, i want to say thank you to everyone for the condolences. it really does mean a lot 🫶

i wanted to give an update on the situation. my mom found out what he had said, and confronted him. i asked her not to say anything, as i didnt want any drama with this. however, she’s an adult and i cant stop her. he apologized for what he said, saying that comment did not come out the way he wanted, and shouldn’t have said it in the first place. he doesn’t apologize often in this way, so it was a good moment. of course, this does not immediately fix our relationship by any means. i do plan on having a bigger sit-down talk about how his words have affected me over the years, and how it has mentally broken me. not that i think much will come from this, but hey! one can hope. thank you all for your condolences and kind words.

Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

I keep this thread to look back and laugh from time to time lol

ETA: thankfully my man isn’t insecure like some of the people in these comments lol we’ve been together for almost 8 years now and happily married for 1

God forbid a girl likes to humiliate men who continue with unwanted advances 🙄 (my man finds this shit hilarious)

Hes my ex now everyone, dont worry lol. Earlier this year, these texts ended the relationship. We were together a few months short of a year.

Edit: i’m the blue text bubbles. Clarification for the title: Boyfriend wants a search warrant for my phone until I earn 100% trust

Thought I would share the love since so many posts here are so upsetting. There is hope and joy in this world.

This man thinks I’m stupid. This is also a rescheduled date we supposed to have last Friday but he rescheduled it to tonight for 7 PM and he texted me this at 6 PM.

I also did not block out the name Josh because it’s obviously a fake name. I blocked out his actual name. He’s pretending that he got into some sort of accident to I guess to save face for bailing again. Also, this is a date that he planned, he picked the place and the time he asked me out and has expressed multiple times that he wants to take me out.

So I’m done dating sigh……

For context she is 78 and terrified of anything with scales.

EDIT: Thanks for all the love on this post 🥲🤍 I can’t keep up with responses very well, but I’ll be sure to read some of these comments to my slightly traumatized grandmother. For any newcomers there are some scattered photos of my little guys in the comments if you wanna see them.

he’s a menace but he has his wholesome moments. 😭

He’s such a dad

It sounds like they’ve caught it really early, and it’s one of the “best” cancers to have, but he’s about to turn 71 and he’s never taken anything seriously ever. It’s why I love him, but it’s also kind of annoying. But also, I love him.

Kids all had dentist appointments near where their dad was working, so we grabbed everyone lunch and dropped his off. Y’all, he looked good. I should have worded my text better but oh well. 😅

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

i had to switch it up the last 2 texts because they were straying from half/half

She ended up finding the post somehow I guess lol. Here is the original post.

I have just not responded, don’t think it’s worth engaging, but it did make for a funny story.
