Why this question
The waiting rooms, the people who were kind, what got you through. A skipped page is not a gap; it's a choice.
Capturing it in voice
- ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.

- ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
