I saved the voicemail of my mom singing me happy birthday for my 21st. She was diagnosed with brain cancer the next year. I’m forever grateful for doing that. I sent it to my brother on his 21st birthday

It is OK to be weird. But don't make weirdness your personality.

I still have the voicemail of my mom calling me in a panic that my dad wasn’t breathing. He passed away that night.
I’m a glutton for punishment.

As a bald man, I take this advice to heart!

I hadn’t heard my nanas voice in 5 years since she passed. My mom recently found a birthday voicemail from the year we lost her and she sent it to me. I cried so hard but it was amazing to hear it again after so long.

Reply to LPT if you have to choose a hotel take the cheap one but most expensive room, rather than a expensive hotel but a cheap room by SupermarketMoist6282
I've stayed in the best room of various cheap hotels and it's still pretty similar to their regular rooms. The extra amenities for the better room is rarely worth it in my experience.

The morning my father died, he called me and left a long voicemail. I was a college student so was knocked out since it was relatively early in the morning. That afternoon I found out he died in a car accident. This was before fancy cell phones and the cloud, etc, so I lost the vm when I got a new phone down the line. It always makes me sad.

This! Especially if they have a special name for you or something special they say, record them saying it. My Pop always called me “little sht” and he was “big sht” and it gets to me, more than it should, that I’ll never hear him say it again.

Life pro tip… don’t value an opinionated statement on this sub as it is no more than a random thought of someone on the internet

My voicemails are deleted in 3 days if I listen to them once, even if I press save... If I save them on another day after re-listening, the delete date gets extended for, you guessed it, 3 days. So I've given up on saving voicemails for the most part. Using a separate device to record the phone speaker if I really have to.

The thing we miss most about our loved ones is hearing their voice. Hugs, scent, eyes, all that is wonderful but the voice is the music our souls make while we’re here on Earth. Save those voicemails, save those videos!

That's true.
I'm just glad I listened to them at least once before they were lost. The last message was from just a few weeks prior to him passing away and he said he loved me at the end. I lost it as soon as I heard that because he had literally JUST passed away but I do wish I could listen to it again! 😭

Nice I used to do that but got overwhelmed. You know those telephone wire bobbles I wear one on my wrist every single day since I first saw one. They are so practical and it’s good bc I’m a little ADD so helps with the fiddling
