The Daily Populous Friday October 23rd, 2020 night edition
I lost my dad to COVID this past July and came across these old pics of him fixing my bow-tie for prom. So I had to make sure he was looking snazzy too. I miss him but am grateful for memories like this.
I am at a loss for words at the amount of positive feedback this has gotten. I posted this because I saw a video this morning, on this same subreddit, of the young kid who paid off his parents house after he sold his first app. It reminded me of when my dad paid off all of my mom’s old debts for Christmas one year and her reaction. He was a genuinely caring person who wanted to make people happy. This photo was taken when I was 17, 34 now, going to my first prom. I will miss him for as long as I live but I will always remember the love he showed me and the lessons he taught me. I wish I could say more to let everyone know how amazing your support for my father and me feels but this is a new feeling and very hard to describe. Just know that I’ve been crying almost all morning because of you beautiful bastards and that my wife and I have just been talking and reminiscing about my dad.
I’ve also been hearing so many heartbreaking stories of other people who are in the same type of situation and I wish I could offer more than my words to you. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your loved ones and I just hope that over time the smiles outweigh the cries when you think of them. Thank you again so much to everyone, you’re all incredible!

It is obvious how much you loved each other. I am sorry he's not here anymore, but I am glad you have sweet memories of him. Take care, OP.

You should frame and hang this if you haven't already. Also Fuck Covid
