Kindness in a Voice

"My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt."
―Gloria Estefan

Each in different parts of the country, two friends from college were talking over the weekend, sharing the challenges of everyday life.  One of them told the other, "I just had to hear your voice."  After they hung up, the other friend realized how much comfort she, too, found in her friend's voice.

When people are meaningful in our lives, we long to hear the kindness in their voices.  Across distance and years, just hearing a certain voice can make us smile and warm our hearts.  I still remember -- and sometimes can even hear -- the voices of those whom I love and who are no longer here.
