When 12-Year-Old Taylor Died She Left Behind The Most Heart-Breaking Letter Ever…

Last year, 12 year-old Taylor Smith from Johnson City, Tennessee sadly passed away after a quite sudden bout of pneumonia. It’s always tragic when a child dies, but Taylor’s family feel all the more aggrieved because she was, in their words, ‘a particularly special, cheerful and optimistic girl’. And they have proof. They discovered a letter that she had written to her future self. She’d written it in April 2013 and set the letter to be read ten years later. After her passing, her parents were intrigued to see what she’d written. So they opened it. Its content was desperately sweet and not a little heart breaking…

 

Letter (2)

And here it is:

Letter (3)

If you struggled a little to read it all, here’s a transcript of what Taylor wrote:

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
