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.
我有一个幸福和谐的家,在这个家里,父母之爱,爷爷奶奶之爱,使我的生活时时充满着欢快与温馨。
奶奶特别注意我的素质,我有什么做的不礼貌的事,奶奶都要给以批评指正。我有时遇到困难就想放弃继续钻研,爷爷总要鼓励我不能轻易就认输。
爸爸工作挺忙的;紧张的工作之余,又始终不忘对我的学习给予有效的辅导,我不理解的问题他都要帮我分析,引导我找到解决的途径。
每天早晨,妈妈都起得最早,为我做早饭,再叫我起床,送我天天按时去学校。妈妈在家里一点也不闲着,她特别爱干净,家里被收拾得井井有条,使全家的生活格外舒适。妈妈也关心我的学习,更重视对我全面的培养,课余时间帮我报了些学习班。
父母的爱是最伟大的,他们说要让我有一个最好的学习空间,有一个最好的学习榜样,有一种最积极的学习心态,必须从自己开始,他们要用自己的一言一行告诉我:学习是快乐的、美丽的!全家人的互相关爱,又都全部身心地爱我,让我成为礼貌的好孩子,上学去会主动招呼,回来时会说“我回来了”,家中有人时我也会迎一下,帮忙拿东西等。我对我家有着浓厚的深情,也在千方百计努力学习来回报父母的爱。
我在我家学到了宽容和理解别人,也是给自己的安慰。
什么是家的味道?在我住校前,我从来没有想过这个问题。但是,如今在我已经住校一个月后我知道什么是家的味道了。我想念我妈妈做的美味食物了,还有她喋喋不休的.唠叨声。爸爸坐在客厅中间看电视。两个弟弟的打闹声还有冰箱里的冰淇淋都让我觉得很温暖。所有这些都使得一个房子成为一个家。这些就是我心目中家的味道。
我家有,五口人,有爷爷、奶奶、爸爸、妈妈、我。
爷爷是一位老教师,现在已经退休了,爷爷虽然退休了,但是爷爷有时
还写写日记,作文。爷爷一心想我们又出息,常常教导我们能成为有用的人。
奶奶是一位农民,奶奶平时最疼我了,捏在手里怕我丢掉,含在嘴里怕我哗掉。
爸爸也是一位老师,爸爸对我很严格,爸爸一定要我十全十美,是么都要我学会,我就是是么也想学,可就是学不进去。我也很敬佩我的爸爸,我的很多作文上也经常提过爸爸,我觉得我爸爸是世界上最伟大的爸爸了。
我的妈妈是一位农民。妈妈会做得事可多了,比如说:种地、做衣服、会做家务等。妈妈一天从早到晚忙个不停,我的妈妈就是最辛苦了。
我呢?我就是一个调皮捣蛋的小女孩,我有时候很温柔,有时候很调皮,要是有人来我家,我就很听话,很懂礼貌,要是没有人,我就把高山地,很调皮,很捣蛋。我生活在一个幸福美满的家庭里,有爸爸和爷爷两个老师在给我辅导功课,一个疼我的奶奶,把照顾我放在第一的妈妈,我能不幸福吗?
