Voice tapes
I remember when my dad worked abroad when I was still in my teens, the only mode of communication was snail mail. And voice tapes. Have you experienced creating a voice tape for someone? It was hilarious! My sister and I were talking about it a while back and we both remembered how we struggled to choose the right words to tell my dad. After saying “How are you, dad?”, we didn’t know what to say next. My mom would encourage us to talk to my dad like he’s there with us. But it was funny talking to the radio while the taping was rolling.
I was just reminded of the voice tapes because I bought a radio for my dad. Little things can bring back funny and poignant memories. And I welcome it.
