For families who are far apart, but not out of touch.
PactPost helps people living away from home send a clear "thank you" and agree on one or two small promises for the coming year.
Once a year, send more than just a quick message
Living far from home means most conversations happen through quick chat messages or brief video calls. You send "love you" and "miss you" often, but the deeper gratitude gets lost in the rush of daily life across time zones.
That's why we created PactPost as a yearly ritual—a dedicated time for overseas children, remote workers, and anyone living away from family to slow down and express what truly matters. Around New Year, Lunar New Year, or a family date that matters to you, take a moment to say more than just the usual quick greetings.
Write a heartfelt thank-you message that goes beyond "thanks for everything," mentioning specific ways your family supported you this year. Then, together, agree on one or two small promises that bridge the distance—monthly video calls, sharing more about your daily life, or planning that next visit when possible.
