Some memories fade.
I can no longer remember the sound of her voice.
And her smile.
Was it as crooked as I now recall?
Her final farewell.
I remember that all too clearly.

I assumed this was about a former love, and was glad to see I was correct. I think it was the emphasis on the end. I can clearly remember those too.

Thanks, Elizabeth. My first wife, 1977-1985.
I haven’t seen nor spoken to her since 1987. And it would seem that I can no longer recall her at all.
Best wishes, Pete.

I was once engaged to a man that I can’t recall at all, much less why we were engaged.

We may well sugar-coat them, chuq. This was more about something I cannot remember at all.

I have a cassette tape my father recorded for me. I love hearing his voice for a moment, then it breaks me a little to know he is no longer here.

Good to have that tape though, Maggie.

Given what you have written in the past, I assumed you were writing about your Mum. Warmest regards, Theo

This note was about my first wife, Theo.
I can still hear my mum’s voice.

I was just thinking of my mum as I painted, but no sound, which I hadn’t realised until I read your thought.

It gets harder to remember the voice. Young people are much luckier, as they have VHS videos, and phone video clips too.
