A Message to My Future Grandchildren

"I’m in my 80s, and I know I won’t be here forever. I wanted my grandchildren to know me, to hear my voice, to learn about our family history. Virtual Time Capsule gave me a way to do that. I recorded stories, advice, and messages for birthdays I won’t get to celebrate in person. My great grandkids will know who I was. That means everything to me."

My Daughter’s First Steps—Saved Forever

"I’m a mom. Life is chaotic. I barely have time to sit down, let alone organize memories. But Virtual Time Capsule made it easy. I saved my daughter’s first steps, her first words, her first laugh—all in one place. And one day, when she’s older, she’ll get to see them just as they happened. That means the world to me."

A Birthday Surprise From My Future Self

"When I was 18, I recorded a message to my 30-year-old self. At the time, it felt silly. But when I finally received it, I was speechless. My younger self talked about dreams, insecurities, and things I thought I’d never forget—yet somehow, I had. Watching that video, I realized how much I’ve grown and how much I still have to learn. It was like getting advice from the past."

A Message From My Father, Even as He Forgot Who I Was

"My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when I was 25. As the disease took more of him, I thought I had lost him forever. But my mother surprised me with a Virtual Time Capsule he had recorded before he got sick. In it, he spoke to my future self, telling me how much he loved me and reminding me of stories from our past. Even though he forgot me in the end, I will never forget him. This is the closest thing to having him back."

A Message from My Mom, Two Years After She Passed

"When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she started a Virtual Time Capsule for my sister and me. She left us messages for our birthdays, our future weddings, and just random days when she knew we’d need her voice. I received my first message two years after she passed. I opened my email to find a video of her telling me how proud she was of me. I sat there, crying and smiling at the same time. It felt like she was right there with me. This isn’t just a tech platform—it’s a gift of presence when you need it most."

A Message From My Late Husband on Our 50th Anniversary

"On what would have been our 50th wedding anniversary, I received a Virtual Time Capsule from my late husband. He had recorded a video years before, knowing he might not be there for this day. He told me how much he loved me, how proud he was of the life we built, and even reminded me of inside jokes only we shared. It was like he was holding my hand again. I replay that video often, and every time, I feel his love all over again."

— Margaret W., 72, Florida
