Because your voice is the one thing they’ll never outgrow
As parents, we spend so much time planning for our children’s future—college funds, health insurance, bedtime routines, school lunches. We try to do everything we can to give them a better life.But what about the things we can’t plan for?
What about the unexpected? The unspoken? The someday we hope never comes too soon?
One day, the toys will be boxed up. The house will be quieter. And one day—though we don’t like to think about it—our children may have to live without us. But here’s the thing:
Your love can still show up.
Your voice can still speak.
Your presence can still be felt.
At Potter’s Messages, we help parents record meaningful, personal messages that can be delivered to their kids long after they’re gone. Think of it like emotional time-travel—your love, delivered right on time.
Here are 10 legacy messages every parent should consider recording—starting now.
- The Day You Were Born
Tell the story...all of it. The nervous drive to the hospital,the first cry. The tears in your eyes and what you whispered when you held them for the first time. This isn’t just a memory—it’s their beginning. And hearing it from your voice will make it real in a way nothing else can. - I’m Proud of You
You don’t have to wait for them to win an award or land a big job. Be proud of their kindness. Their curiosity. The way they care about others. Be specific. Be genuine. Let them know they’ve already made you proud—just by being who they are. - When Life Gets Hard
We all go through valleys. Leave your child a message for those low moments—when they feel lost, rejected, or uncertain. Remind them that hard times don’t last forever and that even when you’re not there physically, your love always is. - Life Lessons That Really Matter
Not the ones from textbooks. The ones you lived. What did heartbreak teach you? What do you wish you knew in your twenties? What has life taught you about patience, forgiveness, or faith? Share your scars. They make you relatable—and real. - A Birthday Message Every Year
Imagine your child waking up to a message from you on their birthday—even when you’re not here. Just a few words. A shared memory. A wish for their year ahead. These messages become the kind of gifts that outlast time. - Why I Love You
Don’t just say I love you. Say why. Is it their laugh? Their determination? The way they always try to include others? These details create emotional fingerprints—reminders that they are deeply known and loved. - Advice for the Big Milestones
Leave a message for their graduation. Their wedding day. The first time they hold their own child. Even if you can’t be there in person, your voice can be—guiding, cheering, grounding them in love. - Our Favorite Family Story
Tell the story they always begged to hear. The one that made them laugh. The one you told at every holiday. Let them hear it again. Let them carry it forward. These stories become family treasures. - What I Hope for You
Speak to their future. What kind of person do you hope they become? What values do you hope they carry? What kind of happiness do you dream for them? These messages remind them of who they are—and who they’re becoming. - Just a Simple “I Love You”
Because sometimes, that’s all they’ll need.
And sometimes, hearing you say it—on a random Tuesday or a hard night—will be enough to carry them through.
You Don’t Have to Be a Writer. You Just Have to Show Up.
You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need a professional script. You just need a few moments of honesty—and a heart full of love. At Potter’s Messages, we help you record and schedule messages so your kids can receive them on birthdays, milestones, or those "just because" moments when they need to feel you most.
Your voice doesn’t have to fade.
Your love doesn’t have to stop.
Start today—and let your legacy speak.
