In addition to this, phones are capable of recording "voice notes" and these files can be saved for future reference.
I don't know if anyone in RP knows that my daughter and son-in-law had their second child pass away from a traumatic head injury just before I retired and we all left the island of Oahu.
Duncan Ross Kawika Beach was 2yr 9 months old when he returned to his Father in Heaven on 2 May 2016. Amazing little boy, who could melt your heart with his smile, laughter and cheerfulness.
Obviously his death was very unexpected, however; through the tender mercies of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father, we understand the Father's plan and that we will be reunited with Duncan again.

My daughter was in the habit of keeping voice journals from her kids, including little Duncan. At night, before they went to bed, she would gather her three children, at the time, and have them review their day's activities in these voice journals. What they liked most about the day.
She still has these files, including Duncan talking about his day. These files and various other pictures and video clips will be treasured forever. When family member came to Hawaii for Duncan's memorial, one of my brother-in-laws created a memorial slideshow of Duncan's life. We have external hard drives that contain all of our media files and when Ben was given these to create the slide show, he said there were over 20,000 files between the dates of Duncan's birth and death. We tend to record our family history through media files quite often. 20,000 pictures and videos in 2yr 9 months.

Our time on earth is known, only by the Supreme Being who created us. We don't know how much time we have. Every child of God's time on earth is different and can range from days to decades, to a century. Make the most of the journey, and we should all do our best to obey the two greatest commandments; Love God, Love your neighbor.

Thanks for tip on voice notes. I need to look into it.
No parent should have to see their children go before them. God Bless you and your family.
