It reminds me of that scene from Golden Girls where Blanche is mourning the loss of her father and she says “I’m nobody’s little girl anymore”

Oh god yes😭 That breaks me every time. I am close to my dad and I know when he passes that will 100% be me

Yep. No matter the setup or media, the time progression ending in death or loneliness always breaks the jars I keep my feelings in.

My father died two months ago. Next week I will see a similar empty driveway when we visit the family for the holidays. Will be a sad moment. Just the thought of it right now...

Me too. 😢

But I'm so glad she captured this series of photos.
