Grandpa Marsh - Tumblr Posts

I know when people talk abt sad South Park lines/moments they talk abt stuff with Stan from You're Getting Old & Ass Burgers, and I get why, but I think a line that's really slept on is in Cash for Gold when Stan's Grandpa is talking about his old dog and says "... I can't remember what she looked like, Billy".

The rest of this post is just me relating and getting mildly angsty so if you wanna skip that go ahead, idc 🤷‍♂️

I think mainly why this one resonates with me so much is because I don't have a lot of pictures from my early childhood. So I only have a few (shitty) pictures of my childhood cat, and I don't have those pictures printed out or readily available to look at. I know I have them somewhere, but without them in hand, I barely remember what she looks like. I'll never forget the love, or some moments with her, but appearances fade quicker for me. Just like there are childhood friends I don't speak to anymore that I remember knowing, but I can't remember their faces.

So I have like 13,000+ pictures of my current cat because I'm terrified of her having the same fate. Just in general I feel this need to document everything, through journal or picture. I don't want to forget anything. But it all gets lost to time in the end, doesn't it, Billy?
