Hello,

My name is Sarah Thompson. I am a 35-year-old mother of two from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

As you can imagine, this unexpected turn has been an extremely emotional roller coaster. As I reflect on what truly matters, I can’t help but to think about everything I’m going to miss in my family’s lives, as well as what messages do I want to leave behind. That being said, I can’t express how grateful I am for Virtual Time Capsule!

I've spent countless hours crafting these precious messages into capsules that I can’t wait for my family to receive. I’ve tried to capture everything you can imagine; from reading bedtime stories with my kids, to sharing my life stories, lessons, and wisdom. To wishing them heartfelt birthday celebrations in the future, to leaving special messages to my family.

If there was anything that I would wish to gift others, it would be the ability to take time and appreciate these small and beautiful moments in life with the ones we love. I know life may not be all sunshine and daisy’s every day, but it’s crazy how now I would give anything for one more “rainy day” with my family.

Thank you VTC for allowing me to still be a part of my family’s lives, years after I’m gone. These capsules are my way of staying connected and in their hearts in a very unique way.
