This
12 Year Old Girl Just Died. The Letter Her Parents Discovered
Afterwards Is Heart Shattering.
January
16, 2014
On
January 5th, 12 year old Taylor Smith passed away from complications
with pneumonia. It left her parents, family, and friends absolutely
devastated. She was a joyful child just like any other, full of life.
But
it was after some time had passed that they made a discovery they’d
never forget. As her parents went through her belongings, they found
several letters Taylor had written to others. But one was very
different. It was a letter to her future self.
It
wasn’t supposed to be opened until 2023, but because she had passed
on, her parents decided to open it. The contents of it show the
character and personality of Taylor. She was a special girl like no
other.
Here’s
a transcript of the letter:
Dear
Taylor,
How’s
life? Life is pretty simple right now (10 years in your past). I know
I’m late for you, but as I’m writing, this is early, so;
congratulations on graduating high school! If you didn’t go back
and keep trying. Get that degree! Are you (we) in college? If not, I
understand. We do have pretty good reasoning, after all.
Don’t
forget, it’s Allana’s 11th birthday today! Sheesh, 11 already? In
my time, she just turned 1! I didn’t get to go to that party
though, because I was in Cranks, Kentucky for my first mission trip.
I’ve only been back for 6 days!
Speaking
of, how’s your relationship with GOD? Have you prayed, worshipped,
read the bible, or gone to serve the lord recently? If not, get up
and do so NOW! I don’t care what point in our life we’re in right
now, do it! He was mocked, beaten, tortured, and crucified for you! A
sinless man, who never did you or any other person any wrong!
Now,
have you gone on any more mission trips? Have you been out of the
country yet? How about on a plane?
Is
Doctor Who still on the air? If not, what regeneration did they end
it with? You should go watch some Doctor Who! Later though, you gotta
finish reading your own words of wisdom!
Do
you have your own place yet? If we’re in college, what are we
majoring in? Right now, I wanna be a lawyer.
Have
you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is
the Wild Eagle. It’s so fun!
Also
I think I’m going to sell my iPad and buy an iPad mini, Don’t
forget to tell your kids that we’re older than the tablet! Attached
I also have a drawing of an iPad, so you can show them.
Well,
I think that’s all. But remember, it’s been 10 years since I
wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life
works, and you have to go with it.
Sincerely,
Taylor Smith

For
a girl of only 12 years to be so forward thinking, so smart, and so
quirky… there’s no doubt she was a gift to us for her short time
here on Earth. Help her letter and life live on forever.
