Even if you have just regular letters from your Mom, I would recommend you hold onto them. This summer I was sorting and throwing things away...and found a letter my grandfather had written to me at my first apartment when I was 21. He has been gone for 29 years now....but just seeing his handwriting again and remembering when I received that letter...it was like yesterday. Memories are forever.

When my wife died, before I cancelled her Primeco account, I recorded a copy of her voicemail greeting (Win98 MP3/wav). Wish I could have saved the messages she left for me, but I didn't.

What a wonderful idea...and how sweet of you to share that with everyone. I know I have about 10 messages on my answering machine I never erase. They all start out "Hi, Grandmother, this is Catie"....when she was 2 and 3 and so on. She is 9 now and it embarrasses her that I have recordings of her in her "baby voice"...but I keep them anyway...:) Thank you for sharing your memory.
