    Not sure if I should respond with like or sad emoji. 

    I told my sister, who lost her husband last July to record his voice. 

    I can remember faces and memories because of pictures.  But when you can't remember the sound of their voice that's when they're really gone. 

    A like is good.  Hearing that voice all those years meant a lot to me.

    You just posted the perfect song. I have their entire discography. This was my dad's anthem. 

    My dad was a truck driver, drove fuel trucks ect, most of his career was driving for Jasper Engines.  

    One trip he said come along.  We crossed the Ohio River at Owensboro and he said I'm tired you're driving. I'm like, what!

    So I drove a semi from Owensboro, KY to Nashville, TN. 

    Great story and the best type of memory, one that comes from something unexpected.

    I will post a song in a minute. But a lyrics from yours reminded me of something.

    To keep it brief I was trying to save my dad's life but he died in my arms. 

    My dad did 2 things every single day. He would call to wake me up so I would go to class my first year in college, then he would call grandma.

    After he died I got up every morning and called his phone to hear his voice mail. Then one day it was gone. That was a bad day for me. 

    My brother had recently divorced and was living with my mom when he died.  His voice was on her machine.  She never changed it.  I got to hear his voice for almost 6 years after he died until mom passed last year.  Just like you, I treasured each and every time mom's phone went to voice-mail

    I was just trying to have a serious conversation with my sister over the phone about my recovery process and when I heard her laughing, and laughing in the background(my wife) I was like WTF.

    Screw everyone, except HSN, this life sucks and im done trying.

    You there buddy?  If so, post something in the Music thread.  Always like seeing what's on your playlist.

    That commercial with the Mannings is amazing. Especially when Peyton says to Eli, "I don't know, I would have hit him in the numbers probably", talking about the helmet catch from the 2007 Super Bowl. 

    Cracks me up every time I see it.  That's such a thing Peyton would say, even if it wasn't scripted.
