英国《每日邮报》(Daily Mail)日前刊文，报道了美国弗吉尼亚州一名在阿富汗牺牲的军人生前写给他的爱妻和宝贝女儿的信，十分感人。

这名美军士兵名叫魏涛德(Todd Weaver)，是派驻到阿富汗的军人，去年9月被路边炸弹炸死。作为前线军人，都有突然离世的觉悟，早早留下告别的情书。
在魏涛德被安葬后的第二天，妻子魏艾玛（ Emma Weaver），在丈夫的电脑里找到两封信，是魏涛德牺牲前夕写的，一封给她，一封给他当时只有20个月大的宝贝女儿。

魏艾玛深深地吸了一口气，满怀感情地读着亡夫魏涛德留给自己最后的情书，从丈夫无比真挚的爱中找寻生活下去的勇气。
“当你读着这信，我想我已回不了家了，也没法再说我有多爱你……”
“虽然看起来我似乎英年早逝，但我已经拥有了梦寐以求的一生。有你这样一位细心、美丽和可爱的妻子和我们可爱的女儿，我今生别无所求。过去数年我们共享的回忆，是我生命中最好的时光。”
魏涛德请他的爱妻要学会向前看，要抛开悲伤，重新开始生活。他在信中写道：“不要害怕去做那些令你快乐的事，继续寻觅生命中的喜乐是十分重要的。”
谈到他的心肝宝贝女儿，魏涛德写道：“为了我们的女儿，你要坚强起来。向她提提我，告诉她，我爱她远胜过世间一切。她出生那天，是我生命里最美好的一天……告诉她，爸爸身在天堂，每时每刻都会照看着她，保护她。”
虽然魏涛德认识到，女儿长大后也许不会再记得父亲，他在给女儿的信里这样说：“很抱歉不能看着你长大了。但记着，爸爸没有走远哦，我在天堂，每天都会微笑地看着你。”
“要记得每晚祈祷，并对你得到的祝福感恩。我们深爱你，当你长大了，念书了，要尽力去学习去了解你身处的世界。要对别人友善关爱，你会发现，这个世界也会对你很不错的。在你的面前是亮丽的末来，要好好地享受它。”
在信的最后，魏涛德这样对女儿说：“记住，爸爸会永远为你骄傲，将永远地爱着你。”
魏艾玛在她的博客上表示，每当读这两封信时都很难受，但丈夫充满信仰和爱的话语，也给她带来平安。
魏艾玛说：“我无法想像和我丈夫一起在战场上，他每天经历了那么多，还要鼓起勇气，向所爱的人写下告别留言。他很坚强。”
魏艾玛把两封信，印成两张大照片上，裱在相框中，也刻在心里。上月本是两人结婚三周年，埃玛说，丈夫送了她一份礼物，那就是让她足以面对每一天的勇气。

DEAR EMMA（亲爱的艾玛）
Dear Emma:
Well if you are reading this, I guess I did not make it home and therefore, I was not able to remind you again of how much I love you.
I love you so much baby and I will always love you. Although I may not be here right now, take comfort in the fact that I am watching over you right now.
I am not gone and I will always be with you in spirit. I know this time must be hard for you but I also know how strong you are.
Never forget that God knew what was best for us before we were even born. Take comfort in that. This happened for a reason. Although you may not believe it now, you will one day.
I want you to know just how important you are to me. I could not ask for a more caring, beautiful and loving wife. The memories that we have shared over the last few years have been the best of my life. Although it may seem like my life was cut short,
I lived a life that most can only dream of. I married the perfect woman. I have a beautiful daughter that amazed me every day.
I even had two great dogs - at least most of the time. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you feel sad, just think back to the memories that we shared. Look at our daughter and how beautiful she is.
Be strong for her. Remind her about her Daddy and tell her that I loved her more than anything else in the world. Her birth was the best day of my life and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Her smile and laughter represent all that is good and beautiful in this world.
Tell her that Daddy is in heaven now and will watch over her and protect her every minute of every day. I love you Emma. But never be afraid to do what you need to do to be happy. It is so important that you continue to find happiness in your life. Although you may think this is impossible right now, have faith.
Much better times are coming. You and Kiley have a wonderful life ahead of you and I am so happy to have shared some of it with you.
I love you.
Your loving Husband,
Todd

DEAR KILEY（亲爱的凯莉）
Dear Kiley, My Sweetie:
Although you may not remember me, I want you to know how very much your Daddy loves you.
I left for Afghanistan when you were 9 months old.
Leaving you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
You are so very special to me sweetie - you are truly a gift from God.
The best day of my life was the day you were born.
Every time I saw you smile my heart would just melt.
You were my sweetie - my life was not complete until you were born.
I am so sorry I will not be able to see you grow up.
But remember, your Daddy is not gone. I am in heaven now smiling down on you every day.
You are so very lucky to have such a wonderful Mom to take care of you.
Make sure you are good for her and help her out whenever you can.
Always remember to say your prayers at night and be thankful for all your many blessings.
Never forget how important and special you are to so many people.
We love you so very much. When you get older and start school, do your best and try to learn as much as you can about the world you live in.
Always be nice and caring to others and you will discover that the world will be nice to you.
But when things aren't going your way, never forget that God knows what is best for you and everything will work out in the end.
You have such a bright and beautiful future ahead of you.
Have fun. Enjoy it. And remember, your Daddy will always be proud of you and will always love you.
You are and will always be my sweetie.
With very much love,
Your Daddy
