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.
Just 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.
