Google Maps Showed A Girl's Dad Gardening Even Though He Had Passed Away 3 Years Ago
Google map helped a daughter reconnect with her father after he was seen gardening on the app even though he had passed away 3 years ago.
The loss of a loved one is the most painful thing one can encounter and nothing can with compete that. Their loss creates a void that can never be filled, leaving only memories of a time that will never come back.
But, a few months back people found out that Google maps and street view is helping people reconnect with their loved ones who aren't there with them anymore. By exploring locations where deceased loved ones once lived, people were able to see pictures of their deceased relatives going about living their lives, doing everyday things - walking or just basking in the sun.
Another such heartwarming instance was shared by a Twitter user by the name of Karen. She shared a picture from google maps where she could see her now-deceased father gardening at his house.
She captioned the picture, "My dad died 3 years ago, but on Google maps, he is still doing some gardening which he loved."

My grandpa is also still on Maps as well when I search his address. Working on his Corvette, which he loved. He actually looked at the camera so they had to blur his face. ? He passed almost 2 years ago now. ?? I'm sorry about your dad. pic.twitter.com/ogikeOLYux

Sadly, it works both ways. Street View caught a pic of my daughter during a horrible time in her life. She is walking away from the camera, her shoulders slumped in a way that still breaks my heart, even though she's doing much better now.
This makes me wish I had a screenshot of the Google Maps image where my high-school-age daughter was mowing the lawn. Such an sweet, unexpected memory!

This brief trip back in the time is a previously unknown function offered by Google, it's changing lives for some and allowing many to keep memories of a loved alive in a completely different manner.
