"I had never imagined that my mother had left me a gift after her passing. It was only five years later that I opened an envelope sent by The Violet Envelopes. Inside, I found a notebook of poems she had secretly written, accompanied by a letter in which she shared everything she had never been able to tell me in her lifetime. Every word made me feel that she had never truly left me. Even after her death, she continued to guide and comfort me."

"Xavier, my friend, left me a ‘Time Capsule.’ It was a trip to the Faroe Islands, a place we had dreamed of visiting together. But after his passing, this journey became something entirely different. At every moment, I felt his presence in every gust of wind, in every wave hitting the rocks. It was more than an adventure—it was a way to say goodbye, to honor him, by experiencing what we had planned together but that he could no longer live. This trip was a gift that will never die, a gesture that transcends time."

"When my husband passed away, I wanted to do something special for my children, so they could maintain a connection with him even though he was no longer there. I decided to prepare a Time Capsule for each anniversary of his death. Every year, they open a package with an object their father had chosen for them—a small gift or a keepsake he had carefully prepared before leaving. The first year, it was a watch he had worn, to remind them never to waste their time. The following year, it was a small travel notebook, like an invitation to explore the world. These objects, though simple, are pieces of his love and values that they carry with them as they grow. This gesture also helps me, as a mother, feel closer to him even after his passing."
