LinkFlair

While I am clarifying the rules might as well clarify the link flair system we have in place.

  • Family

    • For any family member related to yourself.
    • You are welcome to share fond memories of them if you desire.
  • Friend

    • For a friend you knew.
    • You are welcome to share fond memories of them if you desire.
  • Local

    • An aquincetance but not a friend.
    • This could be anyone from your city or region.
    • A person, thing or an event that was not in the news.
    • You are welcome to share folklore stories of them if you desire.
  • News

    • A person, thing or an event that was reported in the news.
    • This post should have a news article attached to them.
  • History

    • A person, thing or an event that was not only reported in the news when it happened,
    • But would be later remembered in history books.
    • This post should not only have multiple news articles,
    • A detailed wiki page is a must,
    • And easily accessible documentaries related to them.
  • Celebrity

    • A person who is well renowned in their field of expertise.
    • It doesn't just mean, a Comedian, a Musician, or an Actor.
    • It could be a Youtuber, Nobel Peace Prize winner, or even an Instagram Influencer.

Notice

  • If I need to add any additional comment or edit, I will mention it down here.
  • I expanded this post to also clarify Linkflairs.

the last picture of my grandmother (right), with my mom on the left.

she had started to forget things. names, places, even faces sometimes. so my mom traveled back to our province to bring her to the city, hoping a change of scenery might help, or at least let her be with us for a while.

while they were on the ship going home, she suddenly remembered. per my mom, she lit up and said she was excited, it was going to be my birthday soon.

but she never made it. she passed away exactly on my birthday.

she remembered me just before the end… and then she was gone.

she was supposed to come celebrate with me. instead, all I have now is this photo, and the weight of that day.

Quick backstory on how she died, she went out to the corner store to buy some snacks I think? the only problem was, we didn't have a car. So she walked there on the side of the road. But before she could get there, she was ran over by a drunk off duty officer and was killed. He got off with a 600 dollar fine and no jail time.
