"My son bought me this package for a Christmas present and it is the best present I can ever remember having. I don’t get to see family and friends much now and I can play this to myself and reminisce about lots of things I used to do. It is like having friends and family on my laptop. The music is fabulous and brings back memories, making me dance around on my Zimmer frame. I don't feel lonely like I used to."
