My Mother's Voice

I listened to a Xmas message on Facebook from a guy listening to Xmas tapes his dead mother had made him before she died.

Why didn’t I film Lottie, I could have, easily? I could have made many tapes. I never thought about it. It never occurred to me, sadly.

I’d love to hear her voice round about now. A bit late to think about these things 3 years after she has died. Shake of the head. The things you regret are the things you don’t do.


I am always a little surprised that tears are salty.
