## Resource

Before the internet, cassette tapes were lifelines for families torn apart by war—carrying hour-long messages, childhood songs, and whispered hopes from Afghanistan, Iran, and India. These physical recordings offered comfort, heritage, and a tangible link to loved ones across oceans, a deliberate act of love that modern voice notes can’t replicate.
