Losing a child is the worst nightmare of any parent. There are a thousand things in this world that can lead to heartbreak, but the passing of a son or a daughter opens a dark hole of grief that is incomparable. Tennessee couple Tim and Mary Smith’s lives were shattered when their 12-year-old daughter, Taylor, passed away on January 5, 2014 after a battle with pneumonia.
When the worst of the shock subsided, Taylor’s parents began the difficult process of going through their daughter’s things. Amongst the usual assortment of clothes, trinkets, books and boxes, they found something that would go some way to healing them in their misery…
The letter Tim and Mary Smith found read “To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 13, 2023 ONLY! Unless said otherwise.” Together, they decided to open the letter before that date, when their beloved daughter would have turned 22.
It was with great interest that Taylor’s parents broke the seal to open the letter. It was an emotional moment, and when Taylor’s parents read what their daughter had to say, hot tears ran down their cheeks.
