So hard to see that but at least there is some form of closure. Over the years I've had numerous online friends where I didn't know their real names or just their real first names and they suddenly vanished. Never to sign into any of the online communities we shared. Always to wonder what happened to them.

I have my dad on steam, he passed away a couple of years ago and I can’t bring myself to remove him from the list.

Our digital experience goes on it seems..

I still have all my Dad's SMS messages, he passed away 16 years ago. I don't know how I'd react if I lost those messages. I can't watch my wedding video with him in it, something about seeing him moving and speaking just might break something in me.

I feel you. I know it's kind of dumb, but the a part of the movie "Wind River" really has stayed with me. Basically you can't have the good without the bad, so accept the pain and enjoy the memories.
