Same. I still have it on the screen in my car too.

My kids got their cell phones after my parents passed away. My daughter got my mom’s number and my dad’s number went to my son.

I can’t make myself delete numbers of deceased relatives or close friends. Kind of hits me when I’m scrolling through my contacts and see one of these.

I can’t make myself delete my moms either. She passed a little over a year ago and stupid me didn’t back up my messages when I thought I did so when I got this new phone earlier this year I just traded my old one in because I didn’t have any use for it. I lost my text message history with her. Pisses me off till this day. Slightly bizarre/ funny story though earlier this year someone was messaging my wife through Facebook from my moms account. They were asking for help with the Facebook account. Come to find out it was an elderly couple that had got my mom’s old phone number and somehow the old man was able to get into Facebook using my moms old number. They couldn’t figure out how every time the old man would log in to Facebook using that phone number it would take him to my moms page. It took a couple hours to figure out what was going on but receiving a text from my wife with a screenshot from a Facebook message from my moms account with my wife’s name with questions marks really freaked me out for a little bit.
