Echoes of the Past

“Gone but Not Deleted” (In My Life, Jul/Aug) hit home. I keep a cellphone message from my mom leaving her usual voicemail, “This is your mother, call me.” Mom died last February, and at times I listen to her message — I wish I could call her one more time.

I keep a message that my mother left me on the phone before she died. She’s singing “I Just Called to Say I Love You.”

My husband died unexpectedly three years ago, and just this year I decided it was time to delete the text messages
