At least thats been the case for a grieving(悲痛的) mom and a dad in Tennessee whose 12-year-old daughter died on January 5. Just days after Taylor Smiths death, her parents found a sealed envelope containing a letter Taylor had written to her 22-year-old self-and its sunny, wise-beyond-her years tone appears to be a comfort to her parents.“To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 13, 2023 only unless said otherwise.” Taylor had printed on the envelope of the letter. “Sorry, baby, we opened it,” her father, Tim, said before reading it aloud with a quavering voice. “Dear Taylor, hows life? Life might be pretty simple in the past 10 years. I know Im late for you, but as Im writing this early, so: congratulations on graduating from high school! If you didnt, go back and keep trying. Get that degree! Do you have your own place yet? If we are in college, what are we majoring(主修) in? Right now I wanna be a lawyer.” The last heartbreaking line reads, “Well, I think thats all, but remember its been 10 years since I wrote this. Things have happened, good and bad. Thats just how life works, and you have to go with it.”Her father talks about his feelings of grief. “At the beginning I felt shocked and depressed, hoping that its not real, and hoping that every time I take a nap or go to sleep, I find out it wasnt real,” he says. “She liked doing quirky things and she liked doing meaningful things. She always created stuff. The fact that she wrote this letter wasnt surprise, but what she wrote was.”Tim Smith posted a message on his daughters Facebook page: “I just wanted to write this so that all of her friends would know that Taylor loved you all!
