That's a very powerful piece of writing ... It certainly made me think slightly differently about some people close to me.

Diane, Love this. I have a recording of my Mom and of me when we recorded tapes to send to my sister who was in Okinawa with her Air Force husband back in the late 60s. I love hearing her voice. And I love hearing your voice. Thanks.

Linda, I wish I had such voice tapes! I do think that is one of the reasons I record. Most of what I write about weaves in family and I if my sons have children - I would love them to hear these in my voice. thank you for sharing your story with me.

Have you ever hung on to an old answering machine because it still had the recording of the voice of someone you lost? I have.
