Funny thing is, her husband’s not even dead. She just likes the recordings.
Wouldn’t be easier to record the sound and listen at home?
Aww shit. I have a health condition so my wife is extremely likely to outlive me, probably by decades. I should start recording videos for her.
Or should I? I want her to move on after I go and I don’t want to interfere with that. Dying sucks.
She loves you. She will always love you. The other people in her life that love her will need to love her loving you. She’ll move on, but she’ll always carry you with her. Make the videos
She can always decide to not listen to them. However, when you don’t make them she would have no other option. I think the recordings would be a very nice idea. Maybe even video.
My dad passed away two years ago and I wish I had followed through with doing video interviews of him. Asking him questions about life, having him tell the same stories he’d already told 100x. I wish I had those.
I am already starting to do that for my daughter who is only 9 months old.
gotta make the most cringe content you can, make it a real test so she has to really miss you to watch them
She’s either 25 or 75
Only if she got married at 2 years of age.
She’ll be about 90 assuming the headline isn’t bullshit, or wasn’t written 30 years ago.
Doesn’t look 90 to me.
Old headline. There’s a video on the story here. Seems like she passed away in 2020 according to the comments
Can’t say how many times I’ve thought about this the past couple years.
I still have both my parents, but both are about to hit their 70s and their health is already not great. There’s a fast approaching time coming where I’ll never be able to hear their voices again. My dad’s said “love ya” so few times in my life, not because he doesn’t, but he’s from that upbringing where you don’t really say that stuff. He finally picked it up from me a few years ago and now says it any time he sees me. I’ve ended up saving voicemails he and my mom leave, just so I can at least hear their voices again when they’re gone.
Appreciate the time you get with the people you love. It’s easy to take for granted that they’re always there. Someday they won’t be and it’ll be quicker than you can imagine when it happens.
I had the same thought years ago, and also started saving all my voicemail from loved ones to my phone. With a parent and grandparent recently passed, it’s much appreciated to have at least these recordings. I don’t have many vids of them talking directly to me, but these voice messages hit different because for a moment, it almost feels like they’re still alive and reaching out to me.
