Hope You're Havin' Fun

When Dad was sick I bought him this little voice recorder dictation thing. I thought he could use it to make little voice notes when things popped into his mind. You know, questions for the doctor...that sort of thing.

Have you ever met my father?? He would NEVER, EVER use such a thing. Of course, on some level I knew that...I think I just needed to do something...anything. So, I bought the silly little thing.

Not surprisingly, Dad never touched it. We found it when we were cleaning out Dad's house and now the little voice recorder is one of Lily's favorite toys.

The other day I found the recorder and noticed there were several "notes" recorded. Being the Nosy Nellie that I am I hit Play.

Most of the recordings are funny little rambling montages of Lily singing and talking on...and on...and on...and on...about nothing and everything! However, there were two recordings that brought tears to my eyes.

In the first of the two recordings Lily says, "Hi Dad Dad. It's me - Lily. I love you more now than I did then."

How sweet is that? I have to tell you it did this mama's heart a world of good. Lily rarely, if ever, mentions Dad Dad. Of course, I know that it's completely age appropriate for Lily to have "moved on"...but I find it hard sometimes.

In the second recording Lily says, "Hi Dad Dad. I love you. I hope you and my mommy's mom are havin' fun wherever you are. Love you. Bye!"

You know what? I hope the very same thing!!
