- Time never stops moving forward and aging is an absolute, but growing old doesn't mean the person you were when you were young is no longer there 🥹

The detail of having the old man in the reflection is top notch
Damn thanks for pointing out
Didnt figure it out, thx
Also the hand that picked the coin
Twice! It's easy to miss but after he picks up the coin his reflection in the glass is of the old man.
And the old hand picking the coin up
When you expect a dad joke but end up feeling the feels 😭
that's what makes you more emotional, you don't have the expectation of a skit that's sad or bad
and that's why i have to clean my eyes too 😢
When you beat your dad at a sport/game and he says “Yep, your old man is slowing down.”
Oh man @@warweasel2832
No shit.
"This Could Be My Last Birthday" broke me 💔 into pieces
😢😢😢
I know this feeling! My "head" says I'm 30, but my body screams - you're 70!
How old are you if I might ask? :)
Amen
My birth certificate does the same to me, it tells me I'm 30 but every so often that sharp pain tells me "this is it".
Dude. That was deep.
@@uncleswellwhere did he say it was uncommon?🤔
@uncleswell Not even AI sounds this lifeless and robotic.

Life really does pass you by if you don’t stop to enjoy it. It’s a culture of working yourself to death just to survive now for a lot of people. I’m 41 have had a lot of fun in my life and like Kurt cobain said “now I’m bored and old”.
That's it. I was 18 yesterday. Now I'm 54.
I was almost sure I was going to be 18, not 39 this year.
I hope life treated you well. Rip
@@grundlefairy My life has been amazing, thank you. Should be a movie. Now it is just starting over again because I am moving to the Philippines, where there are over 7,600 Islands all prettier than those in Hawaii (where I lived a while) and I will soon be SCUBA diving with whale sharks! 🤘😎
@@KevinVenturePhilippines glad to hear that man,,, enjoyy your time in philipines . if you free come visit my place, malaysia. you need to try food here !
@@KevinVenturePhilippines Mate be literally sleepin with the fishes soon!
When he said “this could be my last birthday huh sweet pea” 😢. Broke my heart
Yep getting ready to be 68 and dont feel that although im in end stages of illness. Nothing i can do to stop it. Its been a lovely life. I wanna live ot some more with my husband that we been together since 8th grade. He has termina cancer hes been figtng for 14 years. Its back. God give him strength hes a wonderful man. Teaching our daugter and grandson how to take care f the family compound.
This is so true. 73 and I'm always surprised by the mirror. I'm about 35 in my head. It goes fast enjoy where you are.
We literally should live to at least 120 year, but because of the type of food, water, air and other things I won't mention, if we see 80 we're considered blessed
I wish humans didn't have to go through the cycle of life and just stopped aging at one point. I mean aging is meant to be a deterioration of your bodily features. Maybe there will be a future someday where humans solve that problem? Either way, I wish you long life and prosperity.
Dang, I'll be 35 this yeah... though I feel like I'm probably 50+ after a decade of Military service and being in some motor vehicle accidents. 😅
@@Fahad-21 without death or getting age life would be meaningless
Thank you sir
Didn't expect this to hit. I'm only 34, not that old, but in my head, it feels like I'm still 17. Life gets ahead of us.
Ahahahah! You old fart ! (I'm 33)
When you're 40 buy yourself a motorcycle. It will kick you like 10 years back at least :-D
I'm 17 and still think I'm 14
Im 30 and feel like 45
Dude same. I'm 34 and I think about time passing faster and faster just about every day.
Man you make me cry.
I miss my family.
Why life it have to be with all this sorrow.
Mom dad. Your son are still fighting.
❤ it will be great if we set a meaning full goal for our lives and know what is the purpose of life...

This is the only YT short that give me a Emotional break down. This definitely made me rethink my life and how short it is.
A 70year old friend of mine said at 30 you kind of stop feeling you are aging and every morning in front of the mirror, you are reminded of how the time has passed.
I can vouch for that. Mentally I don’t feel old, physically is another matter
@@susan7775 I'm 32 and feel the same as I did at 25.
@@Crazywaffle5150 40's is when you start aging FR tbh. 30's are still young person .. ;) Enjoy.
Even when I was 27 years old people thought I was 21, 22. Once I turned 30 I really started seeing my appearance catching up with my age, but from the inside I haven't aged a day. Sometimes I realize I can recall memories of my younger years better than I can the last week
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh for reals man wtf
My grandad talks about how it feels like he’s not old and even gets annoyed at other old people for being slow until he sees himself in the mirror. This really put it into a great perspective. Well done.
Noted. Destroy all mirrors after age 55. Key to eternal life
My granny used to say "I don't feel old" 😞 she would say "I look in the mirror and think who is that old lady?" 😞
Shit

@@automagicashie nice 😂😂😂
I am crying over and over. I am 37
I remember my father.
People watching this and thinking about them selfs and wishing they get back to time or if they don’t get old BUT I wish the time returned to see my father and speak with him again.
Not gonna lie, I'd give a lot just to do that too
Remember him and everything he taught you the places he took you and that he made sure to the best of his ability that you would be ready for this world.
Im so glad he saw me grow up and become someone he knew would survive this world.
I still miss him and will never forget him.
You're not alone...
Feel u bro, ill do the same thing to speak w my dad again.. to many regret for me
There is a Mexican song call “mi viejo “ you should search it type “Vicente Fernandez mi padre with English lyrics “ a good relflection like this . How as a son you don’t want years to pass because your father is old
It's only after replaying 4 times that i noticed the reflection on the window when he was going into the restaurant. Great editing!
Great video!
Details.. when he picked up the coin his hand was the old mans.. when walking into the diner, relfection was the old man. This was deep and real. Thank you so much.
Wonderfully spotted.
You can also see the reflection behind him when he goes to grab the coin
On the phone when she takes the picture, too !
When they first cut to the crosswalk, too
Came here to comment about those exact details. And the phone screen when she takes the picture, during the shot over her shoulder.
That's life no matter how old are you, you always feel 20 years old inside, your body just not catching up... Happy birthday seniors.

@@Text-SpeechStories Idk, but that kinda stuff is what pedos say: "Oh, we are just kids trapped in an old person's body." Like you are old, be old. How can you feel 20 when you are 70 LMAO.
made me almost cry T-T it's so deep.
The videography is amazing. Loved every detail
The constant in between shots where you can just barely spot his "real" age is some stellar foreshadowing.
And the glass. His reflection shows his “real age”
This comment needs to be pinned. I didn’t even notice till you said it!
oh i just noticed, nice details
Seriously tho
Topnotch editing right there!
It's obvious on second watch, but it means it worked subliminally 😮 awesome!
And don't get me started on the feels 😊😢😅 everyone can relate!
This is not a skit.
It’s deeply philosophical and artistic as it is.
Thank you 🙏
They could have used someone who's closer to 84 though. You're 55? Perfect for the part!
@@nekad2000he's still pretty young honestly...
They do another skit where his daughter is pregnant sitting at a bus stop. He forgets that it’s his daughter and it shows her talking to him like they’ve never met before.
It's a good film but I think you're lowering the bar for what's "deep"
@@UnanimousDelivers I believe using the word “deep” in this context is purely subjective. You could use that word in a different situation and someone else would disagree with your choice of words.
This so beautiful. We never realized that we've aged. We are constantly the age where the most memorable things happened in our lives. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Must admit that even his hand on the cross walk changer was spot on. Perfect shirt film. 😊😊😊😊
My worst fear is waking up one day alone and looking back on life realizing I’ve never accomplished anything or that I’m not satisfied with the life I’ve lived, boy is time flying already
53 and I feel this 100%.
Some days, I feel my age more than others, but in my mind, I'm still in my 20's or 30's.
Oh my gosh you baby. Man up.
That is true, I am 45 I still feel like 25 , I even see myself in mirror as a 25 year old
Never give up sir!!!! I always tell this to my uncle, never think stuff like “maybe in my next life” or stuff like that, you want it!? You get it!!!
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻never give up.
Take care of yourself and life will reward. My dad is in his 60s and still works his excavating job shoveling with my brother and I, hammering cement, and picking up logs and brick. Usually he’s in the excavator but when he hops down to help with the hand work you’d think him more fit than most 20-30 yr olds. It’s a shame people think after 30 or so they just become unable to do physical activity and can’t stay fit for much longer. Truth is, human bodies are very adaptable even in older age.
As a 26 year old man, I’ll make sure to be extra thankful for my youth and to do my best not to squander it.

84 and walking the town with full independence is a major landmark of health.
I work at a retirement facility and some of the things these people do is crazy. There's one resident that I didn't even realize was a resident, I thought he was an employee! He not only was always in the fitness center working out, but he was constantly walking around in the building or outside, I'd see him walking in town, he worked as a dish washer in a nearby restaurant. He looks like he's in his late 50s, MAYBE early 60s. Turns out. He's 80!
Can't be that crazy the president is 81.
@@user-zt7vb9kt8lthere is no such thing as the president. there are lots of presidents, you need to clarify the country

Damn, this hit me hard. Make sure to appreciate your family before its too late. You never know when they can be ripped away from you.
My dad is pretty old, and im pretty young. I’m scared that he’ll leave me when I’m not ready. I don’t expect anyone to notice this comment, i just felt like i needed to say this. Love you, dad.
my dad said he knew he was old when he fell while working and people said "are you ok" , " let me help you up". He said that was the first time he fell and people didn't laugh or call him a " dumbass" jokingly.
Damn
😢
So touching
The more active one is and the harder it is to believe one is going to age. My dad thought he could just go hunting, climbing, spear fish, look for mushrooms and go camping forever. That was until he started getting tired with just 5 hours into the water and started missing his shots.
Guau... Es duro ése momento, las mujeres nos damos cuenta cuando nos llaman señoras personas de nuestra edad o mayores... Es feo envejecer por fuera, cuando uno por dentro se siente ágil, vigoroso... Qué triste es el ciclo de la vida 😢😢
This hits deep. You blink and 20 years have gone by!. A very beautifully crafted film. Xxxx
Life flies by slow for me do something new everyday and then it'll take longer because you're making new memories
Lindo!
Nah fuck it never blinking again
Or you think about when the 12 hours Shift ends, it will take ages lol
Yup! That is how I feel like, it feels like I was 7 yesterday.. But the next I am already 27 years old. And the world has changed, how did it change so quickly?
That's actually so true and beautiful. No matter how much we age, we think of ourselves as that same self, we see ourselves as that.
My grandfather suffers from dementia, this is him everyday and he’s actually 84, he forgets where he is , what’s his age, what he says and has started to mix up different memories in his head. I pray to god that when his moment comes he won’t feel pain or loneliness, cause me and my mom stay always by his side, we don’t even sleep well at night cause he thinks he is really sick and is not going to make it until morning comes. He starts screaming at night that he is alone and has no one, until we hear him and show up to his bed. Love your elders and respect them cause they made our parents and us who we are today❤. I pray for everyone out there to live a happy life together with they’re families. 🙏
One of the best things I ever watched. Very well done. I am 67 this year and I see myself as a 25 or 30 years old at most, but the freaken body and face belong to a stranger. Life is really short. When we are young we're so happy and think that everything is still ahead, and at some point in life we realize that everything is already behind. Thank you for your vid

Wow, I didn't even notice all the little glimpses until my second watch. This is honestly so well made.
The reflection in the window was a good one.
The aged knuckles picking up the coin was my first clue.
when she took the picture on her phone - that was brilliant
....
Wow.. that's beautiful.. This is one of the most qualitative short i've seen on TH-cam.. I'm litteraly crying
The body ages, but the voice inside your head, it never changes.
I'm 67 and in my head I'm the same as I was thirty years ago although my back hurts more. The other day for the first time ever a guy offered me his seat on the tram. I was both delighted and devastated in equal measure.
This is exactly how I felt the first time someone called me sir
Did you accept the seat on the tram? Or graciously declined like the video guy?😢
Take this slow Gramps, Don't let it ruin your day!
I know your ass is not 67
My back already hurts, not looking forward to that future!
My dad always said "my body is getting old, but in my mind, I'm still 25." He passed January 30, 2020. He developed Lewy Body dementia and it ravaged him quickly. He was very intelligent, so we noticed things quickly were going wrong. He hated what was happening to him. He was the smartest and strongest man I have ever known, and that disease stole who he was from him. When he passed, he had aged 30 years. He deserved to grow to be an old man. He loved life, and his passing left an enormous hole in our family that has still not been filled. I miss him so much.
😢
Dude love and respect for you and your family😢❤
The space for self growth is as big as the horizon...grow into the example he was and surpass it...he sounds like a great man worth remembering.
You have my deepest sympathies for the loss of a precious comrade of yours.
Man, rest in piece.
I’ll be 29 next week, and I have 3 kids of my own. I haven’t been afraid of aging until recently, watching them grow so fast. I’m starting to look unrecognizable in the mirror…
Well shot, lovely scrips & filming.❤ This is Very good & heart warming. Plus you're both young! ✨⭐☺️
This made me burst into tears. I know this well. I’m turning seventy in August and this is exactly my life now. In my mind I’m the same as I ever was.
It had me in tears too. My mom just turned 75 and says she still thinks the same way she did 40yrs ago. Our minds will always be young i guess
The „I“ never ages.
I'm "only" 45, and I'm crying bc it's very real at any age.
😢😢I'm turning fifty next month and people looks at me as an old woman...but I'm feeling like in my 30's...
@@edithsegura9696 I turn 42 this year and my sis turns 52. We have the minds of 29 year olds😅. I get sad sometimes cause it feels like just yesterday I was in my early 20s. Where did the time go? I’m just trying my best to embrace my 40s.
Having the old man in the reflection is peak cinematography for a TH-cam short

He’s actually sprinkled all throughout the video.
Something about that song is just so calming
Damn dude. Hit me like a ton of bricks with the reality check at the end
It is a privilege to grow old.
My grandfather died before I was born at 47 years of age.
I also worked in aged care. Many say in their mind they are young, its just their body has aged.

People with dementia go back through the years. One minute they think they are a mother then the next a school girl.

My dad is 75 and I am 28, I can see him start to slow down and that was one thing I didn't realize when I was younger, you're parents are also aging and going through life just like me. Just wish he had me a bit younger so I would have just a bit more time with him.
wtf. I'm so used to all of your funny videos. I was not prepared for this video at all. Great work.
That’s the thing about getting old. People start to see you in a way you don’t see yourself. It’s extremely alienating. No one thinks it’ll happen to them, but it always does.
If everything goes well it does...
Hey!! Let me live in my own youthful fantasy. Take your filet knifed tongue onwards to the next clip.
Jesus that was deep bro. You definitely right man... I remember when I was 20 feels like couple weeks ago.. now next month I'm turning 32 I'm like wtf happened.... Jesus.... Life is wild
Not me! I’ll never get old! Because healthcare is too expensive ill prolly die in my 30s lol
My mom's been talking about it happening to her at work. I had to do a double take, but she's a few years from retirement. I have to look at old photos of her when I was a kid to see how she's aged.
This is so true. How we see ourselves when we get old is entirely different to how we actually are.
Very true, but physical pain is the way nature tells you are not more that young.
Ya, but the mirror and the pain keep reminding us.
How others see us is entirely different to how we actually are.
I find this only to be true for people with poor self-awareness.
Jesus saves! Repent and turn away from your sins today.
Wow! This hit a different nerve. I love speaking with my clients, I could see the young person they still feel they are. I will be there one day where it feels good to see them feel good and open up and simply converse
Those angle shots were incredibly well done. The hints of the true age compared to the way he sees himself. Top notch
My dad passed away last year at 70. He always said he felt like he was still in his 20s-30s in his mind and would be shocked he wasnt young anymore when something held him back. I miss him every single day. Im so lucky to have had such and amazing father.
I’m sorry for your loss your father sounds like a great man ❤️
❤
I'm sorry for your loss... ❤
My dad died a year ago at age 92. He said he still felt like 18. He never looked old, he was very fit and could still run and do chin-ups in his 80s. I can't say he was a great dad, he was mean and cruel, even so, I still miss him.
@crustydownunder I understand that. My mom was a terror. She died when I was 21 and I still grieved her terribly.
My dad was by no means fit towards the end of his life, his health failed over his last decade of life. It frustrated him greatly especially as it became harder for him to walk without pain. He passed so peacefully in his sleep. Just went to take a nap one day and didn't wake up. May we all be so blessed to go that way. 🙏
When my mom turned 82, I asked her if she felt 82. She said that if she wasn't in so much pain, she'd feel young again. She died a year later. This video is amazing. Well done, my friend.
Sorry for ur loss bro

Around 2012 or so, my great-grandfather was in the hospital for something that I don't quite remember. I think pneumonia, but not sure, I was like 10 at the time. What I do remember though, is that he was put with the elderly people, and his reaction to that was "look where they put me, between all the old people". He was most likely the oldest in the entire hospital wing lol, at a nice 97 years of age!
He definitely felt younger than he was. Sadly, he didn't live too long after that, he died maybe a year later, max.
This truly how Seniors see themselves. I’m not a senior but I don’t feel like I’m 50 at all..I’d jump on a skateboard in a heartbeat.

I would never thought a 1 minute video would touch my heart this much, i am literally crying for real😭😭😭
I cant leave without loving this short...
I am working at a retirementhome as a nurse on a station with people who all have dementia and it seems like this is what they go through all the time... some of them being in their 90's saying "tomorrow i will visit my parents" and everytime i hear that i can't let them face reality and lie because it would be horrible to say "they are dead and you are 94 years old" or even ask them how old they think they are... sometimes one of them who can not stand up anymore says they want to go home just for me to reply with something like "i am sorry you are at the hospital and you can not stand up at the moment. We need to take care of you the next days" or something like that. Sometimes a nurse has to be very very creative the way they talk with elderly people and even more with from dementia suffering people. It can be hard to keep an illusion alive just so people do not have a worse time.
You’re an angel to all these people, bless you ❤

It's actually really good for a TH-cam short
I didn't see the reflection at the restaurant the first time.
Both windows too.
Excellent
Bro. I was trying to get out of the deep, and you come along and sink my battleship
It's crazy how people can mention things about a video that aren't even in the video 🤡
THE MIRROR REFLECTIONS WERE SUCH A GREAT TOUCH 😭😭
Edit: Also if you look closely, in every shot which isn't showing his face, is him shown as in his older self. Such as hands, body, shadow, picture.
Fr
i didnt even notice
Holy shit youre right thats quite awesome ngl
Those are windows, but yea it’s a great touch
Same thing while she is taking the photo, they put a lot of detail into this
Aging is not bad, it's a gift, a reminder that I have come a long way full of tears, joys, exciting memories.
the feeling when you missed your grandparents because of this short video, it's nostalgic that i can burst out crying remembering them😢
That hit the feels..... Thanks for helping me understand what seniors experience
Live your life backwards, and there will be no surprises.
Truly, plan backwards from your own passing.
It's powerful :)

@@brauljo I like the phonetic and IPA foreign language trick. Nice.
To answer though - it means to contemplate your future, by considering heavy questions like where you will most likely die, at what age, and what things will be like then.
Perhaps one makes it to 90. what is like life or you then, how many of your friends are also still alive. Are you lonely?
Work backwards, 80, 70, 60, etc. It is a thought experiment, and by modelling this, what changes would one make in their life given the odds of it happening?
Jesus saves! Repent and turn away from your sins today.

You can see his old aged reflection in the shop mirror...
The detailing! You really touched our hearts❤❤❤
Yeah and the hand when he picks up the coin.
@@pattiepepper6217oh yea! Didn't notice that
you don't say
And the shadow on the sidewalk
Great eye for the details!
That's lovely, he feels young!
May you live long and always feel young 🌹
I miss my grandpa. He died a couple years ago and things have not been the same ever since. He was the glue held our family together.
If only shorts were that deep in meanings, people would be better.

Time goes by a lot faster than we think. I lost 3 grandparents in a year, and each funeral was the last time I saw the next one. Time is precious, enjoy every moment you can get
That's heartbreaking ....hope you are doing well❤..RIP your grandparents 😢
Wait... 3?
@@nowonmetube 2 maternal grandparents and 1 paternal
This comment hurts somewhere deep😢
@nowonmetube Well, you have your mother's parents and your father's parents, then if they every had to remarry, you have step grandparents.
The reflections being the old man was a nice touch. This was amazingly deep
Even the details, how you could see the old man in the window to the coffee shop, and the view of the picture on the phone, truly amazing, and the plot even better
I just lost my grandma a couple of weeks ago to dementia. She always got confused and talked about how she was a teenager and needed to get across the river so she could go into town and have some fun. She wasn’t really all there anymore but it was still a shock to lose someone so close and important to me. This video is beautiful and really touched me. Thank you, have a blessed day.
Rip grandma, may she rest in peace 🙏🏽
I just lost mine a couple days ago to the same thing. This hits pretty hard. I feel your pain.
Prayers with you guys 🙏🏼
She was thinking about her past and probably wanted to go back too. Insit with someone who has dementia and had a aunt who had it when inwas a kid. Neither one of them does that. It just makes me thinknshebwas closer to death than you realize when shebwas doing that. Old people tends to do that around that time. Or at least that is my experience. We had to take care of several older people in the family and that part seems to be very common.
May she rest in peace 🙏
His dads reflections in the windows is a amazing touch. What a good job. Love this family!
Wow i didnt catch that until now
And the photo on the phone!
Not only that! But when the sign is covering his face in that same scene you can see the white beard.
Agreed. You guys are starting to get pretty good at this thing. I don't usually scroll. But when I do. It's mcfarland feed.
Also when he picks up the coin, it's his dad's hand.
This actually made me ahead a tear 😢
Bro I actually feel really emotional now, words cannot describe it but it is just that I gained a new perspective
I'm 30 and I'm still 18 in my head. Wild and it'll only get wilder.
I just turned 32 and I still feel like a teenager even though I am not the same age my mother was when she had me (youngest of 5 kids). The new perspective is crazy. The age I am now, is the age my HS teachers were when they taught me, many of my old friends now how children...like how has all of this happened so fast!
We only start getting old at 30, so you're not any older than you were 10 years ago. That can be sooner or later though, based on how healthy you are. If you wanna stay young for longer, be healthy.
I feel ya, I turned 30 last November and honestly I still feel like I left high school a few months ago. I don’t feel like I’ve aged, more important my body doesn’t feel like it’s breaking down either. It actually feels like the opposite. Lately it’s been unreal, like I’ve been able to actually spread my wings and follow the path I’ve always wanted to. I’m just waiting on my background check to go thru and I’ll be doing what I’ve always felt like I should be.
My amazing Mum told me a couple years before she she passed away at the age of 90 , that she still felt the same as she did when she was 16, it was just her body letting her down. I'm 61 and I can relate perfectly. inside. I'm still a teenager, just my body is getting older.
You all are still so young, enjoy it while it lasts. Wait till you hit 40 then you'll really start to feel like an old person.
My dad passed away at 84 years old. It's been 3 years now and I still miss him everyday. ❤
RIP Dad. My best friend and confidant. Oh how you are missed and loved. If only I could have you back even for just a short time. I would love to show you smart phones and self driving cars. I remember rolling my eyes when you told me these things should be invented. Thank you to the producer of this video. We Americans should be ashamed at how horribly we treat our grandparents/elders. 😢❤
84 years, he did very good
My dad died at 84 years only a few months ago. It's hard.
@Skyesoceaneyes May he rest in peace
Mine passed at 47, me being 13 at the time, now 14. That was september 7th 2023. Actually i dont know the full date. Or why, or how... i'm underinformed.. (if thats even a word)
Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna die when I’m so young😢 I wish everybody can live forever
Lo miré como cuatro veces y cada vez le encontraba detalles que había pasado por alto. Sobre todo en los reflejos indirectos en los cristales donde se muestra al anciano. Excelente video.
Lost my mom last year at 85. Just today I looked in the mirror and was reminded I'm not 20 years old any more. So this just hit pretty damn deep on me. I'm not crying, you're crying.
Damn, you lucky though. You can have mom until she at 85. I was 19 when i lost my mom, she was at 55.
edit: She got cancer at 50 and i was 14. I wish someone told me that someone who got cancer don't live longer than 5 years. I was concern about this while she got only one year left at my 18. I know there's nothing i can do. In her last 3 months, she spend day by day really suffer from bladder cancer. I accompany him in hospital everyday until that day come, when she never reply to my voice again..
@@kingki1953i get you're probably just trying to say look on the happy side or something but it really sounds like you're try to one up someone with what couldn't be less of a competition
i just lost my dad last week at the age of 65.
Жизнь странная штука, я вообще не ощущаю себя взрослым. В детстве казалось быть взрослым это круто, а теперь понимаешь, что это скукота и каждый день - день сурка
@@eksboks148 That was so rude. There's no one-upping here. This isn't a situation where we're discussing who made the most of a summer vacation. The guy is just trying to help OP appreciate the time he spent with his mother. Grief is proportional to the memories you create with that person, not necessarily the time you spent or when they departed. All he did was call him lucky and shared his own experience, and now you're trying to make him feel bad for nothing :(
