Your Pop wasn't that old. My Pop is just shy of 80 and while I don't see him that much I try to text him and send him pictures throughout the week. Because one day I'm going to press send and there won't be a "cool pic, LD dad" with a :-) as a response.
The thing I miss most is just hearing his voice.
Damn, I'm sorry to read this. My father leaves me voice messages on my phone I just save them. He just rambles on so it's good enough. My mother did the same thing she would call my phone and just leave 20 minute messages about absolutely the most craziest stuff. And now she's in a nursing home and all she does is just babble about nothing so at least I have something of her voice where she's putting sentences together. And I'll hold on to those for as long as I can.
