We may be early in our journey, but the heart behind KOSMOS is already resonating—with families, dreamers, and legacy-builders who believe that love, wisdom, and presence are the most meaningful gifts we can leave behind.
What People are Saying
Catalina H., 17 – High School Senior
"Everyone says senior year flies by—and now I get it. A few weeks ago, I got a package from KOSMOS. Inside was a letter from my grandpa, written before he passed, and a graduation gift—he planned it years ago. I couldn’t believe it. He told me he was proud of me, that he knew I’d find my way. Even though he’s gone, it felt like he was right there with me. It’s the most meaningful gift I’ve ever received."

Luis M., 29 - New dad
“When my son was born, I thought about all the people he’d never get to meet. Most of all, my dad. He passed before my son came into the world—but somehow, he still found a way to show up.
A week after we brought the baby home, KOSMOS delivered a time capsule gift my dad had bought years ago. It was addressed to his grandson—welcoming him, telling him about our family, sharing what it means to live with kindness, with curiosity, with heart.
He even included a little gift: a pair of tiny socks and a message that said, ‘You’ve already got big shoes to fill, but start small.’ It was exactly the kind of thing my dad would say. And now, my son will grow up with something most kids never have—memories from someone he never got to meet, but who loved him just the same.”
Lauren R., 34, Military Spouse
"When my husband deployed, I knew we’d be okay—we’ve done this before. But this time felt different. Our daughter’s getting older, and I didn’t want the little things to fade: his laugh, his advice, the way he says her name.With KOSMOS, he recorded messages for her to open every month—birthday wishes, bedtime stories, even one for her first day of school. But what really got me? He also scheduled gifts for me. Letters I didn’t expect. Flowers arriving on random Tuesdays. A reminder that I’m loved, even when he’s oceans away.
Distance is hard. But KOSMOS helped us stay close, and there's nothing I say can express my feeling for this service"
Rachel M., 31 – Soon-to-be Mom
"When I found out I was pregnant, I felt overwhelmed — excited, terrified, everything at once. Then KOSMOS delivered something I didn’t expect: a gift from my dad. He had passed a few years ago.
It was a letter and a video he made just for this moment — for the day I’d become a parent. He talked to me like he was still here, sitting across from me, telling me what it meant to raise a child, to love without conditions, to make peace with the unknown.
He said he couldn’t wait to meet his grandchild — and even though he won’t, it somehow feels like he already has."
Jay Kim., 36 – Startup Founder
"When I launched my company, I was running on caffeine, doubt, and a lot of borrowed courage. Then, right before our third anniversary, KOSMOS delivered a letter from my mom. She passed before any of this existed—but somehow, she knew I’d get here.
She wrote to me like she always did—no fluff, just love and grit. She reminded me that building something from nothing would be hard, but that I’ve always been stubborn in the best way. She also left a message for my partner, scheduled years in advance—because she saw how much they held me together. That gift said everything I didn’t know how to put into words.
KOSMOS didn’t just deliver a letter. It gave me a moment I didn’t know I needed. A reminder of why I started—and who I’m doing it for."
Sophia, Age 58 – Cancer patient
"When I was diagnosed, I panicked. Not just because of the cancer—but because I didn’t know how to hold onto time I might not have. I kept thinking: What if I’m not there when she graduates? What if I miss her wedding? Who will remind her how much I love her if I’m gone? I joined a cancer support group, looking for comfort—and that’s where I first shared my biggest fear: leaving without leaving anything behind. Then we found KOSMOS. I’ve recorded messages she’ll open on the days I might miss. I’ve set aside funds dedicated for gifts for birthdays, holidays, even her honeymoon. I still cry sometimes—but now it’s different. Because even if I can’t be there… she’ll know I tried to be. She’ll still feel me."
Antonio & Lilia S., Married 47 Years, Still the romantic
"I’ve bought my wife flowers for as long as I can remember. It’s just one of the ways I’ve shown her I love her. But now, I don’t move around like I used to. I can’t always get to the store—or remember the right day, to be honest. KOSMOS worked with me to planned monthly flower deliveries for her. I even tell them what I want the card to say. Every bouquet still comes from me—and she brags about it to her friends like I’m the world’s most romantic husband. After 40 years of marriage, that means everything."
Walter G., 74, Grandpa building his legacy
"My family’s been fortunate—we’ve built a life we’re proud of, and we’ve planned well. But over time, I’ve come to realize that the most valuable things I can pass down aren’t in my bank account—they’re in my stories, my values, my love. I’ve written letters before, but I always wondered—will they find them? Will they read them when it really matters?
KOSMOS is all written into my will now. Just like my assets, these letters and messages will be delivered with meaning.
Even when I’m gone, they’ll still hear me say, ‘I’m here. I’m proud of you. I always have been.’"

John & Margaret W., Married 50 Years, grandparents of 3
"We’ve only seen things like this in the movies—letters arriving years later, gifts showing up right on time. We never knew it was possible in real life. Now we've put aside funds and planned surprises for our grandkids’ future weddings, birthdays, even their first homes. It feels incredible knowing that—even years from now—we’ll still be part of their happiest moments."
