One of the most cherished things I own- I can not hold in my hands. I can't even see it with my eyes.
But I can hear it. Over and over again if I like... and best of all...
I can... Feel it.This file- is the only recording I have of my Mother's voice.
I found it on my phone at work.

She would call when I was not there and leave me messages.

Always to tell me how much she loved me.

I have waited to share it with you... although- I still have a very hard time listening to it.
I am happy that I can share this with you... for I had the most wonderful mother...

(These three messages where send from late August and until Late December... She knew she was sick and by the last message she was... not well- but still called all the time...)
Current Mood:

That is absolutely heartwrenching but comforting at the same time.

Peace to you this Mother's Day, Jane.

... I worried ...
about sharing it for fear it would sadden and upset some.

But for me- it is far easier to share it and avoid carrying it around. It is such a heavy burden for me- to go at this alone.

I appreciate and thank you for your kind words.

I was struck by the fact that your mum says "I love you" at the BEGINNING Of the call-she doesn't tack it on as an afterthought like most people do at the end. It shows her love for you was always at the forefront of her mind. How sweet to have a mother like that. You were very blessed and I can only imagine how deeply you miss her.

((hugs))

That is so tender.

After listening, I had to call my mom. She asked if I was ok and I said yes...but she could tell I was feeling a little emotional.
