Fesshole 🧻At the end of every week, I get a text from a young woman about how her week was. She signs them "Love & miss you dad". I figure I received her deceased father's recycled phone number. I've never replied or asked her to stop. I don't want to take away her coping & healing method.
Killa Koala@fesshole You are a good person.

Scott@dshan At least they didn’t reply “help! It’s hot down here!”

draNgNon@fesshole this has brought me close to tears
IanMoore3000@fesshole wholesome fess
Basil@fesshole I'd have to archive the conversation due to the low level dread of some sort of butt dial or accidental messages.
Kaliah@fesshole Awww, this is oddly sweet somehow. Glad you didn't do something worse to her
BillSave them for a few years and then let her know that you have the collection and offer to send them to her. She might appreciate the gesture.
Jo the Neenish Tart@fesshole Nice and touching... But, maybe she is your daughter and you just aren't aware?
Ben ToddPerhaps her dad has gone one holiday or something?
keith@fesshole Maybe she doesn't know she has the wrong number and thinks her dad has ghosted her, meanwhile her dad is sad and alone.

Jon Jennings@fesshole My dad died several years ago, 2 weeks before Father's Day. In general I'm not fazed by the barrage of Fathers Day emails every year around this time... but the one from Cards Against Humanity that arrived less than 24hrs after he died titled "This is a message from your Dad"... that one I'll never forget!
eekaettkenJust a thought: I don't think I would want someone knowing about my private life I send with the thought that nobody reads it because I send it to my dead dad's number.
Or, also a possibility: with the thought that my dad reads it, who has left me & is ghosting me since.
