Can't say how many times I've thought about this the past couple years.
I still have both my parents, but both are about to hit their 70s and their health is already not great. There's a fast approaching time coming where I'll never be able to hear their voices again. My dad's said "love ya" so few times in my life, not because he doesn't, but he's from that upbringing where you don't really say that stuff. He finally picked it up from me a few years ago and now says it any time he sees me. I've ended up saving voicemails he and my mom leave, just so I can at least hear their voices again when they're gone.
Appreciate the time you get with the people you love. It's easy to take for granted that they're always there. Someday they won't be and it'll be quicker than you can imagine when it happens.
I had the same thought years ago, and also started saving all my voicemail from loved ones to my phone. With a parent and grandparent recently passed, it's much appreciated to have at least these recordings. I don't have many vids of them talking directly to me, but these voice messages hit different because for a moment, it almost feels like they're still alive and reaching out to me.
