I love your story about saving a voice mail message! I have done that, too, along with a few precious photos and text messages. When our son disappeared and was missing and homeless, living out of his car in a far away state and not communicating with family or friends for 3 months, I had one, mind you only one, voicemail message from our son. It said “Hey, mom, I’m not mad at you. I love you.” We hang on to the little things that bring us joy….because for us, they really are BIG things!

Yes, I agree for sure. The anxiety when our loved ones don’t (or can’t) communicate is countered by those saved memories. Each positive is a BIG thing.

Yes, laughter and smiles are like purely golden moments.
Today was good text interactions with my brother we are not in the same state& often times I get dozens of messages that don’t make much sense or are filled with pain or rage understandably because of where the disease has lead .
But the last few weeks seems to be in a calmer state of mind .he’s reading scriptures a lot which seems to be a good place for him over the years. I’m thankful for that rest bit for his mind and has even been able to talk with my children a bit over the phone.
