    Kind of sad if you think about it… After my heart attack and open heart surgery, I had considered setting up a bot to randomly send an /r/aww or /r/funny link to my wife every day after I die. Glad I didn’t now. :(

      Glad you’re feeling better! Check out futureme.org to send emails to the future. I believe whichever email address you send to needs to confirm that it’s ok, but then you can send emails years into the future. I’ve been using it since 2010 or so and trying to write a letter to myself every year that I’ll receive on my 50th bday. Sometimes my wife and I also write each other one too.

        In their FAQ nothing is sent to the recepient until the letter is sent. This seems like such a great service until you realize email providers, and addresses aren’t permanent.

        I’ve been with my husband 20+ years, I had 10+ email addresses when we met, and so did he. I love the idea, but wish there was a non-digital option for these things.

        Digitally, if we could register a non-first-level domain for 40-50 years we could set up our own family email severs, with scheduled messages.

        The though of touching him, or his trafficked wife is disgusting… Can’t we find a way to end the mother fucker in the most public and painful way possible?
