Aww, Alfred. I hope when Bruce inevitably DOES come back, he'll record another message. Come to think of it, it'd be very like Bruce to do that - he'd be constantly planning ahead in the case of his possible death, and recording a message for Alfred so he won't leave any unfinished business. It's probably a standard part of the procedure when he's getting ready for a big case - and I'll bet he ends every message with that 'goodbye, Dad'. *sniff* The only reason I'm not tearing up myself right now is because I know that Bruce ISN'T dead - still, this is sad stuff.
