Receiving an email from your parents is no big surprise, however if your inbox delivers an email from a parent who has passed away it can come as a bit of a shock as one Reddit user discovered.
Beersie_McSlurrp decided to share an excerpt of the message received from “beyond the grave” with fellow Reddit users reports The Sun.
“I received an email from my dad today. He died two years ago,’ he posted.
His father used a website called FutureMe to write his son an email to be posted in two years time; after he was gone.
Displaying a good sense of humour in the face of grave illness his father wrote:
“Hello Son, I am talking to you from the grave, wooooooooo. I always said I will come back and haunt you.”
“Seriously, by the time you read this, I will have passed on. Hopefully by now you have adjusted well enough to life without the old man and you have managed to help your mother adjust. I have complete confidence you will be taking just as good care of her as I did.
“I have a few thoughts to share with you and a few insights which wet never got around to discussing in the last few months where I was still coherent (I’m imagining the morphine will have turned me into a bit of a vegetable. Hopefully I entertained you with some decent hallucinations or jibber jabber).
“The first thing I want to say is just how proud I am……..”
Beersie_McSlurrp stopped sharing the posthumous letter there as it “gets personal”.
Apparently getting mail from someone after they’ve passed is not uncommon. Websites such as Afternote, Email From Death and Deathswitch all allow you to email loved ones to a future date so they receive it after you’ve gone.
