Im 56yrs old. My whole generation is passing away including my 14 yr old dog Buffy. Its sad but that is reality. You're here for a blink of an eye so live life in peace in truth in humility and love

My dad was a talented artist in his own right and was a really good man. He died in June 2019 at age 91. He wasn't famous but made the world a nicer place!

I’m 54 years old and still stunned when people younger than I am die. RIP to all.

It's funny how you don't think of people being as old as they are. You grow up with them and then don't see them and you remember them being young. And then you realize how old you are. God it goes fast!!!

Add my mom to the list. She was the greatest mom ever. She passed in December, 2019. I will miss her forever ♥️

R.I.P TO My Mom Who Passed away on Oct 7 2019

[everydayeveryday]

My dad passed away at 90 years old.. I am so glad I spent a life time with my family. I do appreciate all the moments we shared as a family. Thank you.

[johnchalinder]

I've outlived my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and most of my lovers from my 72+ years; and now I'm outliving most of the celebrities I've known and loved throughout my life.
This, more than anything, makes me feel old...

[preservethes]

She wasn't famous, but I lost my mother this year on Aug 18 at only 66 years old.

[carmenmunoz]

My deepest condolences to all who lost a mom, or dad, or someone dear this year.

[gapeach]

We’re not guaranteed tomorrow that’s why it’s important to value each day.

[mamacasteel]

As I age (I'm 70), I am seeing celebrities I grew up with pass away...sure puts you in perspective of just how little a human is on this planet, called Earth. RIP to all who have passed and may you all enjoy heaven to its fullest!

[TheAnnArnold]

All the ones on here who lost their moms (or other close people) this year. Im so sorry.😿💕

[StopListenThink]

My father...he was MY superstar - I miss you daddy

[floridagal]

I’ll never forget how my father, a white man with Archie Bunker attitudes, fell head over heels for Diane Carroll. He wouldn’t miss an episode and it actually changed a lot of his misdirected thoughts of African Americans.

[charlietango]

That was really really a nice tribute to the artists we lost in 2019. Got choked up a few times. Thanks for doing this.😢

[daviddiehl]

As long as these videos exist, they will never be forgotten.

[beasaroze]

I want to imagine Big Bird hugging Mr. Hooper at the Pearly Gates.

[contraryMV]

The moral: this is all temporary... Make the most of your one life.

[haunterscorner]

2019 was such a sad year everybody is dying and can’t believe Cameron, Eddie and Ric passed and don’t forget the one and only kids show for entertainment Big bird! RIP to all
