When 12-year-old Taylor Smith wrote a special letter to herself last spring, to be read in 10 years’ time, she didn’t know it would be opened before even a year had passed— and that it wouldn’t be her eyes reading the words.

“She had told me that she had written a letter to herself, and that she was excited that she was going to open it when she was older,”said Taylor’s mother, Mary Ellen Smith.

Instead, it was opened by Taylor’s parents after she died last spring. They posted the letter to Facebook, hoping it would inspire others.

It has. “We’ve gotten letters from lots of parents who have said it has encouraged them to love their kids and love each other,” said Mary Ellen Smith.

In the letter, Taylor congratulated herself on graduating from high school and asked, “Are you in college?”

She also wanted to know if she had been on a plane yet and if the show “Doctor Who” was still on the air.

Taylor also had some words for her future kids. After considering the idea of selling her iPad and getting an iPad mini instead, she told her future self to mention to her kids that “We’re older than the tablet.” She included a drawing of an iPad for them to see.

Taylor died suddenly of pneumonia (肺炎), leaving behind both her parents and an older brother.

“I just want people to know just what an awesome, awesome person she was,” her father, Tim Smith said.

Her mother said, “I can’t bring her back, but I’m so grateful people have been inspired by her story.”

Taylor’s father read the closing g words of her letter, which said, “It’s been years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.”
