你读这封信的时候已经30岁了。18岁的我有很多的关于未来的希望和梦想：你会在哪里生活，你会做什么工作，你会和谁共度一生。

我希望你已经去过了所有你想去的地方，看过了所有你感兴趣的东西，不管是在加拿大还是国外。也许现在你已经在澳大利亚的某处安顿下来，做着生物学遗传学领域的研究工作。

如果一切按计划进行，那现在的你会和Gwynn还有两个孩子，一起生活在澳大利亚某个大城市外的小镇上，房子很大，有很多地，养一只狗。希望你是从事医药行业的工作，也可能是做遗传学研究。Gwynn会是计算机程序员，你们一切安好。

希望你不再抑郁，希望你最终理解这一切。希望你弟弟仍然清醒，不再频繁的复发。希望你家人不对他生气，希望他的疾病没把我们拆散。希望无论他有多令人失望，你都会同情他和给予他无条件的爱。希望他仍和他的未婚妻在一起，如果他们没在一起，我希望和他在一起的人能够给予他同样的爱，尽管他患有艾滋病，沉溺于毒品。希望他身体健康，希望他不孤独，希望他没再复发。我现在很怕他，这很辛苦。有时我有很多疑问，我只想对他好。我祈祷他能战胜疾病。实际上你向上帝祈祷了吗?我曾经是一位无神论者，但过去一年让我比任何时候都信教。你向上帝承诺了吗?希望你没忘记，上帝一直在努力帮助你弟弟。希望您允许他进入你的生活，希望你妹妹结婚了，她的丈夫没有跟她离婚。希望你不要错过眼前的机会，做出一些改变!!不要让它悄悄溜走，拜托!

希望有一些积极的改变。如果没有，那么需要一点时间步入正轨，定一个新的计划。让自己休息一下，生活不容易，我们需要努力。真正能改变你的人是你自己。你可以给自己最好的，那是你应得的。Love,爱你的，PastMe过去的我
