This is so very touching!

I was thinking the same thing. I would love to know what phone company that is as well. You are right, that kind of compassion is truly amazing, especially in the current world we live in right now.

It does give you hope about the people in this world does it not? It certainly did for me. It brightened my day to hear this story.

I found it very touching as well. I am sure he was devastated when he found that his wife's message was gone. I think I would have been to. He must hae been heart broken. It is his last link to her voice. I am so happy to know that there are people out there that will go that extra mile!

Well it's a good thing you found out eh? hahaha! It is a very lovely story. I hear so many bad things these days, it is refreshing to hear of a good deed like this. That is why I felt I needed to share that with everyone here! I think that is a fantastic idea though.

That is a good analogy of this man's story by using William Shakespeare. That is true what you say. By listening to her voice over and over again daily, it does breathe life into her memory again and keeps it alive for him. That is true love. I think I would probably do the same thing if my husband were to pass. I don't think I could go a day without hearing his voice. While he has been in Iraq, there have been quite a few times when I haven't heard from him in some time and it drives me crazy if I don't at least hear his voice. I have many saved messages on my cell phone. My husband says much the same thing that when he is unable to use a phone to call me it saddens him to no end.

I happen to agree! The company could have easily said no and that the message could not be retrieved, but they went above and beyond to help this man. I find that very touching and it is a wonderful story!

Hey I think that is great mamasan34! Maybe you can also insert pctures and show you from birth in a picture slide up to age you are now and each year maybe add something like special times. Like when you were married and about your life. You could call it a rememberance DVD. I wish I had one of my granparents. They were special to me and alot of people don't know until it is to late. So I would seriously do this and possibly make one for your husbands family as well. I would even add all the silly moments like a picture of him cooking and telling funny tidbits about it and the time he tried to do something that never turned out. Stuff like that stuff you and others love about him. I am thinking of seriously doing one for my husband since he has cancer and we are never for sure how long each of us was chosen to be on this earth to love,learn,and teach others how much we love them and how much they mean to us. A rememberance video would go far in helping those cope better I know it would me.

I agree with you totallyl. That is a good idea about the tape. It gave me a good idea to record myself before it's my time and send out dvd's telling everyone in my family and close friends how much they meant to me and how they impacted my life. That way if they get to missing me they can watch me on dvd hahha!

Yes, it is hard to believe in this day age. However, it is refreshing to see that this is still happening, however infrequently.

theirs must have been the kind of love dreams are made of. Very touching and heartfelt! Thanks for responding.

Yes, he must have really loved his wife. It is really touching to me too. I thought that this was a special story and I just had to share it with everyone!

Yes, I think that there are people out there that continue to do such good deeds. Unfortunately we rarely hear about these because of all the bad things going on. I am glad this story broke through!

I try to believe that myself. It gets hard sometimes though. Thanks for responding!

No problem. I just wanted to share it with my friends here at mylot!

I am glad that you enjoyed it as much as I did. I found it really touching as well! It's nice to see people going out of their way to do good deeds today!

Like the old John Lennon song says "Imagine". I would like to continue believing in the good of the world and this story really helps me to believe.

Yes it is really nice to have someone help you and do a kind deed. It gives me great hope for this world with this one small deed!

I had no idea it was verizon! My brother works for that company. I am going to have to share that information with him, if he hasn't heard about it already. The story really touched me and for a big business to take such care with this man, says something!

yes that is really true. It is important that we love each other and let each other know that because we don't know when our time is up. Thanks for responding.

These stories are few and far between in my opinion. I am so glad to have heard of such a touching story involving such a large corporation. Your right, in this day and age it is unexpected!
