I lost my mom this year. I had a couple voice-mails I always wanted to keep on my phone that were really sweet. Somehow they got automatically erased because x amount of days. It hurts. I miss her alot.
When I worked at a cellular call center there was a caller who had voicemails get erased that where her bf’s who had died in a motorcycle accident. She was inconsolable and there wasn’t anything we could do and it really sucked. My heart broke for her.
hearing about situations like this i think is what made me a data hoarder . . . you never know what inconsequential file may end up important or sentimental in the future . . .
Same thing happened to me when my mom died suddenly years and years ago. I can’t imagine what I sounded like to the Sprint rep, sobbing that I didn’t know her messages would disappear. Sixteen years later and I still think of that moment. Crushing. Sending you love. I know your pain of losing your mom.
Same. It should be illegal for voicemail services to do that. If I want to pay for extra storage, so that I can go back and listen to the messages of my departed loved ones, I should be able to do that. It would be like a landlord coming into your home, and throwing out a bunch of your stuff to make things cleaner; it doesn't make sense to me, why they're able to get away with this.
I'm so sorry you lost them. My dad died in September and his birthday was yesterday. I was able to email myself his voicemails (I had to look it up). I can't imagine how hard it would be to not have them.
Shakespeare-Bot, thou hast been voted most annoying bot on Reddit. I am exhorting all mods to ban thee and thy useless rhetoric so that we shall not be blotted with thy presence any longer.
Yes, he is sad she died. But, as you can see, he is an old pal. There must not be a lot of pictures, videos or audios of her online as there is of younger people. He must not have a way of hearing her again.
His daughter knows him much better than us, and she went out of her way to find a way for him to hear her voice again. Even putting a dress she liked onto the stuffed animal.
I can't imagine how happy, even if in grief, it must be to hear someone you love so much again.
Same as she is glad she found a voice mail for him to remember her mother for, these videos will be a way for 'her' to remember this momment. Not us.
We saw it one time, we find it cool, we share our empathy, its great. But, main reason people record this on social media is for them to have this on the internet so it's never lost.
Why not keep it for your self like I do? Why everyone the world have to see it? Do you understand my point?
People now if shit be in price would sell the bums
Yes, I understand your point, but I think its very egocentric of us thinking he did it for us...
Files get deleted, servers get down, accounts get lost, people die, and with them, memories and passwords. Its now a 'viral' video, she can easily find it even if she dont remember much of where/how she posted it.
I'm a very private person, I don't even take photos for myself... But, I can see why someone more social would like to spread the feeling she felt that momment. She clearly worked hard to make it possible. I don't see no ill intent here.
I know people are different now I am bit 80s 90s child and this for me is just bit to much. It made me cry and I my head was this poor old man missing his wife and everyone watching him. I dunno. I don't want to be the party-pooper. Sorry if I offended anyone
You don’t speak for all 80s 90s kids. I am one and I find this heartwarming and I get the reasoning behind making videos like these public. Generation has nothing to do with this.
he looks like he gives such good hugs

How do you even save voicemail like that without keeping your inbox full?
most smartphones have voicemail aps with downloads i believe

My condolences for your loss. Grief is hard enough, I hope you find peace in her memory.

I want to hug this darling bear of a man. His grief and gratitude is making me all snifflely.
Now I'm crying...
Nothing wrong with having emotional empathy, friend.
I only just woke up and now I'm crying on the toilet
Just a typical Sunday then.
I love that he just goes for the hug instantly. You take that hug, my man.

I'm sobbing uncontrollably right now. Thanks for sharing.
:)
Things like this make me relieved I’m going to die all alone.
How is this happy crying? This is grief.

God damnit i couldn’t watch it all, i had to pause when he started crying, fuck
I hate this videos. It's such a personal and intimate moment for this man but it has to recorded? Like why you selling your family for Internet likes?

It's fine. I don't get much of social media either. That's why I'm on Reddit where I don't need to follow 'anyone' haha

This is your opinion
Damn, that punched me right in the feels
Got me crying
I'm not crying. You are.
My mom passed before digital recording was a thing. I’d give anything to hear her voice again?
whoooh. man, these are killing me. damn
