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.
“啊!你已经把他们抱过来了!”渔夫说到,“唉,我们以后的生活肯定会更艰苦。”
之后的日子,渔夫从每天打三次鱼,到现在每天打四次鱼,而桑娜也为了孩子们的美好生活,缝补衣物来贴补家用。日子就这样一天天过去,渔夫夫妇过着劳累确幸福的日子。直到那一天……
俄罗斯上又爆发了战争,导致村庄的房屋倒塌,所有人都无家可归。其中,也包括渔夫和桑娜,还有他们的七个孩子,都被迫流浪在大街上。
天上下着鹅毛大雪,“彭,彭……”饿了三天三夜的桑娜一家都一个个倒下,渔夫也坚持不住了,唯有桑娜凭借着过人的毅力没有到下。但,当她看到渔夫也倒下的时候,自己也不甘地倒下了。
雪停了,桑娜醒来了,从布袋中掏出仅剩的半块饼,准备吃下去。“我,我快不行了,我需要吃东西。再不吃我就饿死了。”桑娜心里想着,想着想着就要把手里的饼吃掉,但她又转念一想“如果我把饼吃了,那孩子们吃什么,渔夫吃什么……如果我不吃,那我怎么办?”
桑娜正想着,就听到了一道声音,“好心人,救救我吧,我已经四天没吃东西了。”此时,有一位衣衫褴褛的老人走了过来,向桑娜讨食。桑娜看他可怜,就不假思索的把手中的饼给了他。
老人走后没多久,渔夫就醒了。当渔夫问起饼的去向时桑娜坑坑洼洼的回道:“刚才,有……有一位老人,我……我把饼……给他了。”渔夫听后回答道:“没事,我们总能熬过去的。”
过了几天,桑娜又遇到了那个老人,才得知老人其实是一位富翁,为了寻找一位善良的管家才扮成乞丐的。老人询问渔夫是否做他的管家,渔夫答应了。
从此,桑娜一家过上了幸福快乐的生活。
我有一个让人羡慕的家庭!我、爸爸和妈妈就组成了这个幸福的家!家里有很多的趣事,真是讲也讲不完呀!
第一幕:端午节时,妈妈早早就起来做美食了。我呢,还在“梦会周公”,爸爸起来看到了我的懒样,就把妈妈做好的卤蛋放到我的床前,我一闻到香味,就麻利的爬起来,穿好衣服刷牙洗脸。走进了厨房,一见到卤蛋我就两眼放光。伸手就要去拿,爸爸突然拦着我,说:“本人决定,由于你今天起晚的原因,所以取消你吃卤蛋的资格,增加狗狗吃卤蛋的资格,钦赐!”
说罢,爸爸拿了一个卤蛋,掰开扔给了狗狗,看到狗狗吃的津津有味,我差点就和它去抢了。“妈妈!”我撒娇的拉住妈妈的手,说:“你看爸爸,你好好看看他!”谁知妈妈装糊涂的说道:“看什么,你爸爸很好呀!怎么了?”
“你!哎呦!爸,我错了以后一定早起早睡,行了吧!”我不满意的说道“好,知错能改,善莫大焉嘛!这次就原谅你吧!不过,早睡早起还是好的么!对吧!”爸爸傲慢的说“对!老爸说的什么都对!”我恭维的说道“好!朕心情大好,特赦免你的罪行,你可以去吃卤蛋了!”“yes!老爸太棒了!”夸完爸爸后我一溜烟跑进厨房,拿起卤蛋享受起来!
没想到端午一大早还会有这么一出戏,呵呵!
我们家的趣事很多,多得像天上闪耀的繁星一样,数也数不清,其中,有几件事让我记忆犹新。
记得小时侯,爸爸、妈妈和我都在家中,于是,我们开始讨论在家做什么事?“我们一起运动吧!”我举手回答。爸爸赶紧摇摇头,因为他不喜欢运动,于是,妈妈便大声说:“咱们举行大扫除,怎么样?”大家并没有说话。爸爸也有话要说:“我们自己干自已的事!”我们都摇头,最后我们通过选票的方式来决定的。同意妈妈的多,所以全家开始大扫除。
我是扫地、擦桌子和椅子,爸爸的活是力气活,主要是把桌子和椅子搬到别处,妈妈承担大量家务,开始啦,我们全家开始忙起来了,有的扫地,有的擦电视机,还有的在搬东西……啊!我做好啦!于是,跑到客厅准备看电视,可是,到那里,已经“面目全非”了。就像房间被倒过来一样,天翻地覆的,只好,到卧室看。想不到,那里都是腊味。只好,帮爸爸妈妈打扫了,不一会儿,就完工了。我们看着干净的地,心里甜滋滋的。
这个趣事,并不好玩,可是,劳动给我们的欢笑却很多。
