A Voice Not Forgotten -Day 25 of 365

MEMORY -

Pete's voice was ever so soothing and filled with kindness.  He had humor in his tone and wisdom in his words.  It didn't matter what he spoke about, when he spoke, everyone listened.

APPLICATION -

Today during a "Father/Daughter lunch", Dad let me listen to a few voice memos Peter had recorded.  It felt amazing to hear his voice again.  Almost an unreal encounter..... real in sound, yet unreal in time.  I wanted to jump through the phone and give him a hug, something completely unreal and utterly ridiculous.  I have never felt an equal amount of sadness and happiness all at one time like I did today.

REFLECTION -

I copied the sound clip to my computer in efforts to preserve a part of him that defined every ounce of his being.  You don't realize how much you miss someones voice until the only means of hearing them is through a digital memo pad, luckily I have that much.
