What most teenagers dream of is to go to college, travel the world, and have many friends. 12-year-old Taylor Smith, of Johnson City, Tennessee, was no different. This girl spent her days around her family and friends and loved watching a lot of Doctor Who.
Smith outlined these plans in a letter she wrote to her future self in April 2013. The letter was placed inside a box in her room with the instruction “To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 12, 2023 only (unless said otherwise).”
Unfortunately, she didn’t live long enough to see whether those dreams would be accomplished. Just months after she wrote that letter, Taylor died of complications from a sudden onset of pneumonia.
Her parents, Tim and Mary Ellen Smith, were heartbroken. They couldn’t believe their girl was forever gone.
One day, as they were sorting through her possessions, they found the letter. As it touched them deeply, they decided to share it online and give others some solace.
As she shared her daughter’s letter, Marry Ellen wrote: “I can’t physically resurrect her, I can’t bring her back, but
I’m so grateful people have been inspired by her story.”
Below is Taylor’s letter and the words she wrote to herself.
Dear Taylor,
How’s life? Life is pretty simple right now (10 years in your past). I know I’m late for you, but as I’m writing, this is early, so; congratulations on graduating high school! If you didn’t, go back and keep trying. Get that degree! Are you (we) in college? If not, I understand. We do have pretty good reasoning, after all.
Don’t forget, it’s Allana’s 11th birthday today! Sheesh, 11 already? In my time, she just turned 1! I didn’t get to go to that party though, because I was in Cranks, Kentucky for my first mission trip. I’ve only been back for 6 days!
Speaking of, how’s your relationship with GOD? Have you prayed, worshipped, read the bible, or gone to serve the lord recently? If not, get up and do so NOW! I don’t care what point in our life we’re in right now, do it! He was mocked, beaten, tortured, and crucified for you! A sinless man, who never did you or any other person any wrong!
Now, have you gone on any more mission trips? Have you been out of the country yet? How about on a plane?
Is Doctor Who still on the air? If not, what regeneration did they end it with? You should go watch some Doctor Who! Later though, you gotta finish reading your own words of wisdom!
Do you have your own place yet? If we’re in college, what are we majoring in? Right now, I wanna be a lawyer.
Have you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is the Wild Eagle. It’s so fun!
Also I think I’m going to sell my iPad and buy an iPad mini, Don’t forget to tell your kids that we’re older than the tablet! Attached I also have a drawing of an iPad, so you can show them.
Well, I think that’s all. But remember, it’s been 10 years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.
Sincerely, Taylor Smith
Beautiful words from an angel who was taken away from her family too soon!
If you were touched by Taylor’s words as much as we were, please share this story in her memory.
Find Ruler, Egg, Apple, Book.
Are you ready to test your observation skills with a fun and tricky puzzle? The image above challenges you to find four hidden objects: a ruler, an egg, an apple, and a book. It might seem easy at first, but many people struggle to find all four.
Think you can spot them quickly? Give it a try before reading further for hints and answers!
Why Do People Struggle with This Puzzle?
Many individuals face difficulties when solving visual puzzles like this one. Here are some common reasons why:
- Overlooking Hidden Details – Objects are cleverly disguised within the scene, blending seamlessly into their surroundings.
- Focusing on the Obvious – Most people only look for large, prominent shapes instead of scanning the entire image.
- Getting Distracted – The background details, colors, and other elements make it hard to concentrate on the hidden items.
- Rushing Through It – When people glance at an image too quickly, they often miss subtle clues.
If you didn’t find all four objects right away, don’t worry! Let’s break it down step by step and reveal where each item is hidden.
Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Objects
The Apple 🍎
One of the easiest objects to spot, the apple is cleverly disguised as part of the woman’s shirt. It blends in well due to its placement and color, making it a common element that people overlook at first glance.

The Ruler 📏
This one is tricky! The ruler is cleverly hidden along the edge of the bed’s headboard. The vertical placement and thin design make it blend seamlessly with the bed’s structure.
The Egg 🥚
This is where things get difficult. The egg is actually part of the woman’s face—her open mouth forms the shape of an egg! Many people don’t expect an object to be part of a person’s face, which is why they often miss this one.
The Book 📖
The last and hardest item to find! The book is cleverly tucked under the bed near the person’s feet. The green cover makes it blend in with the bed’s color, making it nearly invisible unless you look very closely.
Final Answer – Did You Find Them All?
The correct locations of the four hidden objects are:
- Apple – On the woman’s shirt
- Ruler – Along the headboard
- Egg – Formed by the woman’s open mouth
- Book – Under the bed near the person’s feet
If you managed to find all four without any help, congratulations! You have an exceptional eye for detail. If you missed one or two, don’t worry—these types of puzzles are designed to challenge your perception.
