My dad passed away 2 years ago but my mom still keeps his phone on. Today, we saw it rang. An old acquaintce of him wanted to talk to him. Our interaction was so surreal; him shocked at how clueless he had been while I got to listen to someone talk about my dad, in present tense
I just heard a mother on tik tok say "my kids didn't ask to be born I made the decision to have children. They dont owe me anything and I owe them a good life" and wow that's powerful!
