Many times, when someone gives me one of those Dear Mom or Dear Dad journals to read when writing a eulogy, I often find mostly blank pages staring back at me. Empty pages. Lost memories. Missed stories. When you know there is no possibility of finding out what could have filled those pages, it is the saddest of situations. Your suggestion adds the layers of voice and words, and it’s much more likely to happen. Just Press Record is an app I’ve used. ($5) (I’m sure that there are so many alternatives.) Easy to use for simple conversations, and transcribes the words almost instantly. It syncs across all my devices and storing data on the cloud ensures the safety of those precious memories. With the voice and words, there are so many options for what you could do next. Jane, thanks for the idea and the post.
