Losing a child is every parent’s worst nightmare. For Tim and Mary Smith, that nightmare became reality when their 12-year-old daughter, Taylor, passed away from pneumonia in 2014.

While sorting through Taylor’s belongings, they discovered a letter she had written to her future self, meant to be opened in 2023. Overcome with grief, they decided to read it.

Taylor’s words were filled with hope, faith, and curiosity about the future. She encouraged herself to keep striving, cherish her faith, and embrace life’s journey. Her parents, deeply moved, shared the letter online, where it resonated with thousands.

Taylor’s message lives on, offering comfort and inspiration to all who read it.
