A Japanese man recently shared how he decided to search for his parents’ old house on Google Earth and stumbled upon images of his father who passed away seven years ago.
コロナでやる事ないからGoogleEarthで実家見に行ったら7年前に死んだ親父が写ってた。その先に人が居たから見に行ったら母ちゃんだった。一服しながら奥さんの帰りを待ってたんだな。無口だけど優しい親父だった。このままこの場所の写真更新しないで欲しいな。 pic.twitter.com/PXxBICAxmz

His late father can be seen waiting by the entrance of their house and as he zooms pass him, he noticed that his father was actually waiting for his mother who was walking home.
“I decided to search for my parents’ house on Google Earth because I had nothing to do due to the pandemic,” he wrote.
“I saw my father who had passed away 7 years ago. I then zoomed passed him and saw my mum on her way home. My father must have been waiting for my mother to return home.”
“My father was a quiet but kind man. I hope that Google Earth doesn’t update the photo for this place.”
His heart warming tweet went viral on Twitter, with others sharing how they stumbled upon their loved ones on Google Earth too after seeing the tweet.
“I found a picture of my grandfather, who died four years ago, going home with my grandmother,” one user wrote. “I immediately sent a photo to my mother's family. The whole family is happy.”

私も一昨年老衰で亡くなってしまった犬が家で写りこんでいて見る度にまた会えたみたいで嬉しくなります。この写真のまま変わらなければいいなぁ pic.twitter.com/S53hOQTNW7
