A deeply moving post on X (formerly Twitter) has struck an emotional chord online after Spheron Network co-founder Prakarsh Pathak shared screenshots of his WhatsApp chats with his late best friend. In the post, Pathak revealed that he still messages his friend — not expecting a response, but finding comfort in the act of staying connected. “I lost my best friend some time ago. Still, I write to him. Words that go nowhere but somehow keep me close to him,” his caption read. The screenshot he posted shows a heartfelt update: “Mumma retire ho rahe hain 31st ko and aaj mai co-founder ban gaya, long way still miss you.” The short message blends pride over a new milestone with the ache of missing someone deeply. Moved by the gesture, several X users shared their own emotional experiences of keeping conversations alive with those they’ve lost. One user wrote, “I lost my childhood friend a few months back, and I totally understand. I still send her reels, send messages, and keep checking her account.” Another shared, “I lost my father 10 years ago, and I still chat with him on Facebook; it has everything, 10 years of milestones, breakdowns, and achievements.” Adding a reflective note, a third user commented, “So beautiful. I did that with my Mom for a while. Maybe if I use enough AI and create enough content and thoughts online that can be used to train a model, my kids can get a version of me that they can communicate with forever (assuming they want it, of course).” The post has since gone viral, resonating deeply with people who find solace in keeping the memories of loved ones alive through words and technology.
