My children will never know their grandfather. He would have loved them so very much. I can tell them stories about him all day long. I can picture him in my head and show them pictures. I still have a bottle of his cologne, so I can remember what he smelled like. But I can’t hear his voice. His rich laugh. The deep timbre when he was telling stories. The way you could almost hear the smile in his voice when he told a joke. He died when I was only 14, in an age before ubiquitous constant recording of every activity. But even today, when we record everything, how much of that is us recording our kids? How will our kids remember us or their grandparents? I would give almost anything for my father to be able to meet his grandchildren, even if it was just for one day. Just to hear him read Green Eggs and Ham or Where the Wild Things Are or The Hobbit. But no matter how much I wish for it, that can’t happen.
I can, however, make sure it doesn’t happen again for me or my husband or my mother. Thanks to Choose Your Reader I can make sure that our voice is never lost. I can make sure that my children will never forget the sound of grandma’s voice or my voice or my husband’s voice. That my grandkids (someday) will be able to hear my husband read Sherlock Holmes to them or hear me read them a bedtime story. Even if we can’t be there.
