Open when you miss me
Close your eyes for a second. I am thinking about you right now, I promise. Press play, listen to my voice, and remember that every day apart is one day closer to the next hug.

Open when you miss me. Open when you cannot sleep.

What they see
Real screens from the product, not mock-ups.
Twelve envelopes, twelve letters, and your hand gave up at number four.
Open-when letters are one of the kindest gifts there is, and one of the slowest to make. Paper letters also cannot play your voice. A set you write online keeps your handwriting style, adds the sound of you, and can be printed as QR codes for the envelopes.

Open when you cannot sleep
It is late and your head will not switch off. Put the phone down after this one. Breathe in for four, out for four. You did enough today. Tomorrow can wait until tomorrow.
Open when you are homesick
Your room is exactly how you left it, and the dog still checks the door at four. Homesick means you have a home worth missing. Call us tonight. We will pick up.
Open when you had a bad day
Whatever happened today, it does not get to decide who you are. Get your favorite snack, put on the playlist I made you, and know that I am proud of you anyway.
Open when you need a laugh
Remember the time we got lost looking for the beach and ended up at a car wash? I still laugh about it in the shower. Here is a photo to prove it happened.
Open on your birthday
Happy birthday! I wrote this months ago and scheduled it for this morning, because I wanted to be the first thing you read today. I hope this year is the best one yet.
