To ask someone who does this to explain why?

Social media posts like this, why?!

"1 year ago today this little bubs came into our life, you are our world little munchkin we are so proud of you. Happy birthday! Love you to the moon and back"

My dear, lovely dad will have been dead for 10 years at the end March 2018 (when the clocks go back...so much hope, so much devastation), that's cancer for you. I might just feel emotional enough to post about him on FB later this month. He was amazing, he put the world to rights for me, should I not post? Because he can't read it anyway / because he is dead? I have no grave to visit, I saw him when he was dying and then dead, I literally saw him leaving his body...he'd already gone after, it wasn't him, just a body). That doesn't matter though if it makes me feel better to recognise it, is that not ok? Please educate me to FB protocol.

Those saying why put it on fb as the baby won't see it are wrong. Fb has a scrapbook facility. It allows you to set up a non usable account for each child, named by their first names only. You can tag your child in any photo or post that you wish. When they are old enough and have a fb account they get access to the scrapbook and see all the posts and photos from mum and/or dad over the years. I would have loved that as a teenager and on into adulthood.

Assuming that Facebook is still widely used in 13 years time and doesn't go the way of Myspace, Bebo etc.

Kids are already favouring other forms of social media over Facebook because it's full of old people.

I have a family member who posts a lot of feeling blessed with my little family/ daddy's home now the fun starts posts. She had 3 yesterday,initially a little annoying,but then I remember she grew up barely knowing her dad and her step dad left in her teens.
So yeah,her little family is a blessing to her as she knows what its like not to have one. we don't always know people's story.

I wish my children Happy Birthday on facebook..

Well, it's more ' Billy is 16 today' with photos of him as a baby and one of him on that day.

Three of them are on FB, but two of them aren't.

I do it because I want to. My family seem to like it too.

I also wish three of my children's deceased dad Happy Birthday too. I want people to remember. It also reminds people to send my children a message to see how they are on that day, when they would likely have forget the date otherwise.

It also pisses me off when people post to their dead family etc... is there Social media in Heaven?

Arseholes piss me off too.
