It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
伴随着婴孩呱呱坠地的哭声,曾经青涩的少年多了一个新的身份——父亲,时光如流水飞逝,初中的喜悦被化为肩上深厚的一份责任。
父亲是成长路上的避风港,在航行的过程中总会有无数的风雪将你冲刷,总会由无数挫折使你失去希望,可父亲那片静溢的海岸,永远是最温暖的避风港。
无边无际的宇宙中,我们都是小小的星辰。在成长的途中我们会经历碰撞被磨去棱角,在大大的绝望中小小的努力着,可是终于有一天我们损落,而父亲如年长的猎人,披着雪花走到身旁,点亮火把,听你诉说所遇见的离合悲欢,告诉你如何面对,望着你的背影,凝视你踏入沙场。
父亲是成长路上的明灯,在薄雾弥漫的海映却不会迷失前进的方向,因为前方总亮着那么一盏灯来指明方向,光线并不强烈,可是却那样的清晰。
历史的洪流怎样涌动都不会忘了康熙,雍正,乾隆所创造的.恢弘局面,他们身上传递的是一代代诸侯将相的精神。比尔·盖茨,李**都是极其富有的人,但他们给予子女的并不是他们所拥有的财富而是创业的精神。他们都是孩子生命中的航标。
父亲是成长路上温情的臂膀,母爱如水,父爱如山,或许并不那么直接的表达,却足以感受到那分不开的温情。
过生日时永远是父亲点燃蜡烛站在角落看我与父亲将它吹灭;玩耍时永远为我吹号气球就转身离开;旅行时永远是尽忠的摄影师自己从不进入画面;学骑车时永远会先答应不放手最后还是防守。父亲的感情永远比母亲生硬,甚至使人误解,却给了我更多的感动。
白发已经爬上了父亲的鬓角,身姿也不似从前的挺拔,背脊开始弯曲,他一天一天的苍老,光阴在他得身上留下了痕迹,哪怕他已英雄迟暮,可他也依旧是夜空下最闪亮的英雄。
在我的成长路上他带给我的并不仅仅是这些,还教会了许多许多,他也是我生活中的老师。
一声父亲,一生父亲。父亲是人世间温暖的代表。
以前的你,也就是现在的我,是一个有着许多梦想的孩子。不知这些梦想,你实现了吗?
我很好奇,你是不是已经成为了一位足球明星?因为我现在的梦想里有一项,那就是也要成为一名足球健将。我虽然做其它事有点笨手笨脚,但玩足球毫不含糊。希望你是梅西、罗纳尔多和小罗纳尔多合体的“加强版”,代表中国队出征,踢出中国足球的威风。如果确实是这样的话,那现在的我,就提前为你感到骄傲和自豪。
我还非常想知道你有多帅,多高。现在的我,自我感觉还算是一位很帅气的小男孩——虽然有些瘦弱,像豆芽菜似的。我决心坚持体育锻炼,让自己变得壮实一些,成为一个阳光、健美的男子汉。
你也许是一位经营有道、富可敌国的老板,或是一位著作等身、名满天下的作家,又或许是一名知识渊博、桃李满天下的老师,还有可能是叱咤风云的赛车手……这些都可以,只要你拥有自强不息的精神,用心去奋斗,人生就会步步走向辉煌。
你有没有一位聪慧贤淑的.好妻子呢?有没有一个淘气顽皮又天真烂漫、活泼可爱的孩子呢?写到这里,我都有点不好意思了。看来,我真的要努力才行,为你打下扎实的基础,好让你更好地为人夫,为人父。
20年后的我,请你认真看看这封儿时的自己写的信吧!看完之后,希望能引起你最美好的回忆与怀念!
祝你
健康快乐
充满幻想的简**
爸爸剔一个平头、高高的鼻梁、尖尖的嘴、中等个头儿、挺着一个“将军肚”,嗓门比谁都大,一吼儿,连解放军叔叔都是甘拜下风。
爸爸是个业余爱好者,不管是棋盘类还是运动类,爸爸都是一流儿的!爸爸同时还是个“工作狂”,有时早上五、六点出门,晚上十一、二点回来。有时候与客户应酬还要拉着脸皮去哄客户。我就问爸爸为什么要这么做,爸爸总是严肃的回答我:“现在的社会不同了,做生意或应酬只要铭记一句中国的古话——客户就是上帝!以后你长大了自然就会就明白。”
爸爸喜欢欣赏一些古董,他也喜欢做一些手工活儿呢!爸爸的历史非常好,常常会给我讲一些历史事件。爸爸的思维是“3D”式的,想一些事情很周到。
爸爸还是一名出色的修理工,家里什么东西坏了,他三下两下就把它给修好了,有时连修理工都束手无策的家电,爸爸看看说明书观察观察它的内部构造,东拆拆,西装装,没多久家电就安然无恙了,左邻右舍有东西坏了都找他。
爸爸喜欢与我们开玩笑,但看爸爸笑一次是比登天还难的。不知道为什么,爸爸的眼神总有着让人揣摩不清的事情,我很难从爸爸的眼神中找到答案,我想:爸爸的世界一定是奇幻的银色。
爸爸做事是很有分寸的。爸爸不喜欢浪费时间也不喜欢别人浪费他的时间。爸爸会把朋友或亲人交代给他的事情做的快,棒的效率!
以前吃饭的时候,爸爸总是把好吃的东西留给我,今天我会毫不犹豫把好吃的菜留给爸爸。因为爸爸为了我整天带着一张劳苦而乌黑的脸,从那一刻起,我就下定决心要好好读书!每当爸爸干活累了回家,我就给他端水做饭。总之我只想尽到我自己的一份孝心,为爸爸分担一些事情,让爸爸有更多的休息时间。
爸爸啊爸爸!您是世界上最伟大的,我知道你所做的一切都是为了我长大后有一个美好的生活;有一个有意义的灿烂人生。
我一脚深一脚浅地走在回家的路上,这条坑坑洼洼的小路在我看来就像是一条通往世界末日的道路。一想起书包里那张不及格的试卷,一波波惆怅就涌上我的心头,我几乎失去了回家的勇气,我该怎么去面对父亲充满期待的眼神?我在雨中抱着沉重的步伐向前走去。
不知什么时候我已经走到了家门口,刚推开门,一股温馨的气息就拥抱住了我。一切正如我所料,父亲已经做好了满桌的饭菜等我回来。“爸……”后面的字还没说出口,喉咙就像被什么东西堵住了似得。父亲连忙迎了上来,从我肩上接过书包说:“快坐下吧,都等你好久了。”缓缓地坐下,望着眼前丰盛的菜肴我却一点胃口也没,想到父亲每天用心地做饭,关心我的身体而我却拿不出成绩来回报他时,他感到非常失落,惭愧一点点吞噬着我的心灵。“爸,上……”我的话还没说完就被父亲打断了,“上周你要买书的钱我已经准备好了,待会儿吃完饭就给你。”听了父亲的话,又想起那张不及格的卷子,不禁觉得很对不起父亲,胡乱吃了几口饭后就放下了碗筷,到书房里看书。
坐在书桌前,零乱的思绪怎么也理不清,忽然感到肩膀上有轻轻的拍动,把我从迷茫中唤醒。“其实这一切我都知道了,”父亲温和地堆我说“一次失败算不了什么,重要的是要从中吸取教训。巴顿将军从蜘蛛结网中获得启示,最终击退德军‘诺贝尔、爱迪生经历了多少次失败?但他们最终都取得了成功。失败是炼造强者的火炉,只要你振作起来,一如既往地努力,我相信你一定能取得成功。”爸爸的话像是一股清泉流过我的全身,又像是一根羽毛拂过我的心田,我的心终于平静下来了。
这一觉睡得真踏实,早上起来后只觉得身上有着使不完的力量。推开窗户,只见一缕金色的阳光洒在饱含水分的绿叶上,折射出七彩的光芒。缓缓坐下,我拿起笔开始认真地写作业。
我有一个善解人意的父亲,他时时刻刻都在关注着我的思想,不断鼓励我,驱散我心中失落绝望的情绪,帮助我走过人生的雨季,迈向成熟的金秋。
