就在今年稍早，12岁的泰勒因为肺炎并发症而去世了。泰勒留下伤心欲绝的爸妈和哥哥。

当爸妈整理泰勒的遗物时，他们发现一封泰勒写给未来的自己的信。

上头写着2023年才能开封，但由于本人已经去世，爸妈决定拆信。

就像一般的小女孩一样，她对未来充满好奇（以下有全文）。

她在信里问了许多可爱的问题，例如搭过飞机没？还有去游乐园玩吗？

甚至提到了以后要记得跟孩子讲，"我们这辈比IPAD还老"，并附上了小插图。

全文翻译：

亲爱的泰勒，
Dear Taylor,

你还好吗？我现在的人生还算简单（你10年以前）。我知道这封信迟到了，但当我现在写算是提早，所以…恭喜你高中毕业！如果你有顺利毕业的话。去领毕业证书吧！你（我们）现在在大学了吗？如果没有的话，我了解。毕竟我们一向都有不错的理由。

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.

别忘了，今天是ALLANA的11岁生日！哇，已经11岁了吗？在我的时间里，她现在​​才刚满一岁！可惜我没参加她的派对，因为我人在肯塔基州的CRANKS短宣，我才刚回来6天！

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!

说到这，你还有信教吗？你最近有祷告、读圣经，或服务上帝吗？没有的话，快去做！不管我们现在在什么阶段，他都为我们而被嘲笑、折磨、钉到十字架上。他是一个无罪的没亏欠你或任何人的人！

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!

好，你还有去宣教吗？你出过国了没？搭过飞机了吗？

Now, have you gone on any more mission trips? Have you been out of the country yet? How about on a plane?

《超时空博士》还在演吗？没有的话，节目最后在哪个时空中结束的？你快去拿几集出来看吧！不过先等等，把你自己写的信给读完！

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!

你现在搬出来自己住了吗？如果我们在读大学的话，我们主修什么啊？以现在来说，我想当律师。

Do you have your own place yet? If we're in college, what are we majoring in? Right now, I wanna be a lawyer.

你最近有去DOLLYWOOD游乐园吗？他们现在最新的噱头是"野老鹰"。好好玩！

Have you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is the Wild Eagle. It's so fun!

对了，我想把我的IPAD卖掉，来买个IPAD MINI，别忘了告诉你的孩子：我们比平版电脑还要老！我附上了一张IPAD的插图，你可以秀给你的孩子看。

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.

嗯，大概就这样了。但别忘了，距离我写这封信已经10年。世事难料。人生就是这样，你只能接受它。

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.

诚挚的，泰勒史密斯

Sincerely, Taylor Smith

很少有12岁的女孩有如此前瞻、有智慧的想法。希望信中的结尾能安慰到泰勒的父母。
