  • You might think it's nothing, but this was a hard realization for me and it's something that I think about often. Especially considering the past year. That being said, we watch my Dad play in one of his concerts and it's a blast!

    Good morning and happy Wednesday! Thanks for being here. I know this may sound silly to some people, but it's a big worry and thought of mine that I have almost every day. Now, with the Christmas season, I think those emotions and thoughts are amplified. Thanks for understanding, thanks for being here, and we hope you have an awesome day and week! ❤

    Oh my goodness Jared you had me in tears. I love what your doing with your family as my father passed away at Thanksgiving and I’m having an extremely hard time this Christmas. My mother lives hours away from me and now it’s so hard knowing she is completely alone and my heart is breaking. So I want to say thank you for the idea of more pictures and videos with my family. But hold tightly to yours and have a very Merry Christmas.

    Jared, I hear you 'loud & clear' because I have my own regrets (hindsight is 20-20). You're so smart save those sentimental voice messages they're more precious than gold when their voices eventually fade in your heart which WILL make you feel emptier if & when that happens. I love your insight & thoughtfulness. 💌

    I've saved voicemails too. We are 4 sisters and just lost 2 sisters in 2 years. I know when the time comes, I will still be able to hear a voice from someone that passed. At one of my sister's services, they played a cd of her speaking and singing. She loved singing and felt God gave her the voice to do so.

    My family always make sure to take a group photo when we get together and I make sure to take a really nice picture of my girls with my grandmothers. It’s not silly or morbid. My husband’s grandfather left me a really sweet voicemail and I’m so glad I saved it because he just passed away. We had visited him in July and took a lovely photo with my husband and girls and that ended up being the last one. I’m happy to have a nice picture to put in their yearbooks to remember him by.

    Oh! Jared!!!!😭💔😭💔
    Yes! You are so right.
    Our family is spread out thanks to me 🙄
    We moved to Texas for work 35 years ago!
    Ever time we would go home we always took a large family photo.
    My older brother would never come, nor did he come to my wedding before I moved away.
    Our last family COMPLETE picture that was taken, he refused to come.
    Two years later we lost our dad to cancer. 💔💔
    Now for over 27 years my older brother has tried ever way he could to splice him & his wife in our last completed family picture. It still grieves me for him.
    I wish we could spread this message far & wide! Life is way too short in the grand scheme of life.
    Thank you for sharing your heart with all of us.
    God bless 🙏🏻♥️
    Merry Christmas ✝️🎄

I have memories, but I can't remember the sound of her voice. I'm 75 now and have lived many years more than my Mom. I hope my children and grandchildren will be able to look at pictures and remember me.. Jared you are so smart. I can understand exactly why you are taking pictures and saving voice mails!

    I know how you feel. My dad wasn't in a lot of pics with me or my kids; not for any particular reason, but we were in Disneyworld a couple years ago and I was taking a picture of my daughter. My dad was with us and I looked at him and said, "Hey get over there with Jess! I barely have any pictures of you with the kids!" Little did I know we would lose him in Sept. 2021. I treasure every photo, video, and voicemail I have of him. My first 2 kids are old enough to remember him, but I had just told him about my 3rd pregnancy, then lost him a few weeks later, so I have a son who will never meet him. I'm glad of what I have to show him of his Pawpaw.

    I lost my dad December 2nd 2020. He passed during a routine surgery. It wasn’t supposed to happen. He was only 67 and I was only 30 (my kids were only 5, 3, and 7 months). He was an amazing grandpa. I’m so glad I have his voicemails. So many are the same, but I’ve saved them all to multiple places. I miss hearing him say “hey baby, it’s dad.” Watching my mom raise my now 15 yr old sister without him has been heartbreaking. I hope that those voicemails will also bring comfort to my sister so she never forgets his voice.

    Jared, I always took photos with my dad when I would see him. 8 years ago I hosted Easter dinner and I took a selfie with him before he left. Two days later he unexpectedly passed away. I am so grateful to have all of the photos I have with him. I'm not so lucky when it comes to my mom. She passed when I was 23, she was only 44. We didn't have digital cameras and cellphones then so there aren't many photos of us even together, let alone many of her by herself. I do have some of her growing up and from my wedding day but that's about it. Now people tell me I take too many photos....

    My father in law passed away Sunday . He was ill for 16 years and was unable to speak all that time. My son found a video of his grandfather speaking and holding him as an infant. We didn't realize we forgot what he sounded like. It was heartwarming to hear his broken English Italian accent again.

All memories should be preserved, all voices captured. We are so blessed to have the technology that makes this relatively easy to do, now.

    Yes Jared, please find a way to save those voice messages from your phone. I had to get a new phone and somehow lost the voice messages from my mom, who has since passed away. I saved them to so in case that "day" ever came, I would have them, but ended up losing them.. so please do that so you won't have to worry about that...😇
