On January 5th, 12 year old Taylor
Smith passed from this world due to complications with pneumonia. Her
parents, family and friends were left shattered. From having a joyful
and fun loving child, they were left with nothing but memories.
And one other thing. Some time after, her parents made a discovery they will never forget. A letter.
(Look at the bottom for a transcript.)

Going through her belongings, her parents found a letter Taylor wrote to her future self among letters written to others. |
It was supposed to stay closed until 2023, when she was 25, but her parents decided to open it.
|
The content of this letter show what
kind of child Taylor was, and how full of life. She was special, and we
mourn her passing. |

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
