A couple of weeks ago, Reddit user I_Shit_In_A_Bucket shared the story of his best friend's funeral, which he attended at just 12 years old. He was, of course, devastated by his loss.
But just as the funeral was about to begin, he suddenly needed to poop, like, really badly.
The situation got worse and worse, and it seemed like he was going to shit himself no matter how hard he tried not to.
He was already touching cloth — near the point of no return.
Then everything changed. He thought of his best friend, who, had he been there, would have done everything he could to make him poop his pants — "just like a best friend should."
And then he started laughing, remembering his friend and his sense of humor.
In the end, he made it to the bathroom just in time.
"Dave, wherever you are I still think of you," the friend wrote.
People loved the story...
...and thanked Dave's best friend for sharing.
Some people even replied with humorous, heartwarming stories of their own...
...remembering their loved ones...
...just as they'd want to be remembered. ❤️
