After her tragic death, Mom finds a hidden note in her daughter's chamber, and she is frightened to read its contents.

Most young people want to go to college, travel and have a large social network. Taylor Smith, a 12-year-old from Johnson City, Tennessee, was no exception. This young woman loved spending time with her family and friends and watching Doctor Who.

Smith outlined these objectives in a letter she wrote in April 2013 to her future self. To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 12, 2023, only (unless otherwise specified), the letter was hidden in a box in her room.

Sadly, she did not live long enough to see whether or not her objectives were fulfilled. Taylor lost away a few months after he sent that letter as a result of complications from an unanticipated pneumonia attack.

Tim and Mary Ellen Smith, her parents, were inconsolable. Their young daughter had abandoned them, and they couldn’t believe it.

They discovered the note one day while sorting through her belongings. It impacted them so much that they decided to share it online in the hopes that it would comfort others.

In response to her daughter’s letter, Marry Ellen stated, “I can’t physically resuscitate her, I can’t bring her back.”

I’m glad her tale inspired other people.

A copy of Taylor’s letter is shown below, along with some notes she wrote to herself.

Salutations, Taylor!

How is life treating you lately? Life is really simple right now (10 years in the past). I apologize for being late, but since you’ve already graduated from high school, I’ll just say congratulations. If you weren’t successful, try again later. Get that degree! Do you (we) really attend college? If you don’t want to, I can understand. We do, after all, have some compelling reasons.

Don’t forget that Allana turned 11 today! You’re eleven already, what the heck? When I was born, she had just turned a year old! I was on my first mission trip to Cranks, Kentucky, so I couldn’t go to the party. Just six days have passed since my return!

While we’re at it, how is your relationship with God? Recently, did you pray, worship, read the Bible, or go to serve God? Get up and do it RIGHT NOW if you haven’t already! Whatever stage of life we are in right now, simply get started! He endured humiliation, abuse, torture, and execution on the cross for you! a perfect man who has never done you or anyone else any harm!

Have you since taken any other missionary journeys? Have you ever ventured outside of the US? How about air travel?

Are you aware of the current status of Doctor Who? If not, how did they end it if with regeneration? You should watch some Doctor Who right now! But after that, you must finish reading your own words of wisdom!

Do you now reside in your own home? If we are in college, what are we majoring in? Right now, I’m trying to become a lawyer.

Have you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is the Wild Eagle. It’s really enjoyable!

Additionally, I’m considering selling my iPad and buying an iPad mini in its place. Remember to tell your children that we are older than the tablet! You can show them the iPad drawing I’ve included as well.

All I have to say about it is that. The fact that this was written ten years ago should be kept in mind. There have been both happy and tragic events. You must accept that as the way life is because it is.
