Tell us the story behind one of the text messages, or voice mails you have saved on your phone.
I have saved a voice message from each of my children and my husband so that if anything were to ever happen to them, I will have their voice to listen to forever.

Oh my gosh, I have NOTHING!! Ugh....I need to start now. This concept is a really good one. The only think on my house phone right now is my hubby shouting, "Jen! Pick up the phone.....pick up the phone Jen! JENNNNNNNNN!"
Yeah, I think I'll delete that one and start fresh :)
Thanks Deb...and thank for your kind words an encouragement about quitting smoking. I'm quitting cold turkey and I'm in Day 3. By far, it's been the hardest day and I've cried for almost 3 hours total :) Oh well, I'm having a little red wine to take the edge off. Thankd for your offer to listen to my venting, I might just take you up on that!
My Dad died three years ago. I don't have any voice messages from him, but my mother still has his voice on her answering machine. It was sad, at first, to call her house and hear his voice, but now it makes me happy. I still carry one of his business cards in my wallet just because it has a handwritten note on it, and I like to see his handwriting. Yes, silly mundane things like this really do mean something after a person is gone.
This text message saved is from one my wards. It reminds me of the times that I have stood patiently by his side, encouraging him on and egging him on that he is capable of anything he sets his sights on, anything that he dreams of. Now , he is abroad and is successfully working as a professional in his particular field.
This is what his text message contains...which I will treasure for life.
" Thanks for all the tears and laughters you've shared with me. Thanks for believing in me when everyone else did not. I would not have come this far without you."
That is such a good idea. As much as we don't want it to (or do want it to) time has a way of making us forget things. My mom died 7 years ago and I have a hard time remembering her voice.
OMG -- I hope you never need them!
MamaFlo,
This is such a simple, yet such a wonderful idea. I am sitting here right now trying to remember my Dad's voice. It would have been so easy to save a voice mail recording of him, but I didn't. I am certainly going to save one of my Mom. Thanks!
I have a flix message of my brother and his friend running around like Indians because the Chiefs beat the Bengals (my team). Mean, but very funny!
Mamaflo,
I had a really good friend that I used to travel all over the state with who died a few years ago from a drug overdose. We were super close but kind of grew apart when she got married to husband number three and he could not stay clean. She ended up getting high with him and I just could not be around it.
Anyway, about the message, I had a message on my voice mail when she had called to invite me down to Ensenada, Mexico where she and her husband had moved to. She said she would be clean when I got there. She died about two months after she left the message. Sadly, my friend and her husband thought if they moved their drug problems would disappear. I had that message on my phone for over a year and then it accidentally got erased. It made me sad every time my voicemail service let me know it needed to be re-saved.
Peace,
Diva
I found a copy of an IM conversation I'd had with my Mom after she passed away. I also have a few voicemails saved from my son in case I need to hear his voice?
Yep, I'm a saver :)
