In 2002，I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday in 2014．It is 2014 now．Yesterday was my birthday and I opened 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 many dreams about you．Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you’ve always wanted to，both in Canada and abroad，maybe you have even settled down somewhere in France，and maybe you are working in the field of art．I hope you’re married to Gwynn—the man of your dreams．You’ll probably have two children—a girl and a boy．
If everything goes okay，you’ll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children．You are doing research in painting．Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves．
However，if things don’t go according to plan，I wish you love，happiness and joy．
Love，
