We’ve all been there. We’ve had a friend or relative who passed away, and it’s a sad thing to know that they can no longer be here with us in this world. We only have a handful of photographs and memories with which to remember them. And one way of seeing these photos and reliving these memories is by opening Google Street View.
One Twitter user recently posted that her family never got to say goodbye to her grandpa when he died a few years ago, but when she visited her grandpa’s farm through Street View, there he was, sitting at the end of the road. Thousands of people responded, many with their own stories of finding old Street View shots of their dearly departed grandmas reclining in their front yards or their grandpas getting into their trucks.
Check out some stories of people who found their loved ones on Google Street View over at Slate.
