Day 8: Things I'll Never Forget About Lori
The Sound Of Her Voice
For the first four weeks after her passing I couldn't bring myself to delete the outgoing message on our phone's message machine. I simply couldn't bear the thought of playing ANY role in removing a part of Lori from my life... even a 10-second recorded message.
Thank gawd for my father, who figured out how to use Skype to make a recording of our phone message so that I could stash it away for safe-keeping.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't worried about forgetting the sound of her voice... I just couldn't take an active part in deleting it from my world.
Anyway, I will never forget the sound of my dear wife's voice. It comforted me through so many dark days, and whispered more "I Love You"s than I could possibly count... and for that, once again, I owe her the world.

Post a CommentCary, you are an awesome man. I hope you know how wonderfully lovely it is for us to come here and see your words about Lori. And the photos! It's so nice to see her face so often.
...and then there's your heavy heart behind all of these reflective words. It must take so much strength to unveil so much love with each posting. But then again, you've got that sweet amazing voice to turn to, always.
see you tomorrow.
It's so lovely.
These memories.
Thank you for sharing them.
how cool is your dad . . .
