There are countless moments when you wish you could check in on a family member—just to know they’ve arrived safely. But life gets busy, communication slips through the cracks, and that simple reassurance isn’t always easy to get.
That’s why I created ThisSide.
I know what it’s like to feel that pang of worry when a loved one doesn’t respond, the uncertainty of not knowing where they are, and the longing for reassurance that they’re safe. ThisSide isn’t just about tracking locations—it’s about staying connected, feeling close, and giving peace of mind, no matter where life takes us.
