'I always said I'd come back and haunt you' - Son receives funny and heartbreaking email from his dad, who died two years earlier

A reddit user Beersie_McSlurrp shared a story of
how he was shocked to receive an email from
his dad who had died two years ago. The E-Mail
message was sent using the FutureMe site,
which allows users to send emails to their future
selves or to other people.
The man told his son that he "always said I will
come back and haunt you", and opened the email
with the line: "Hello Son, I am talking to you
from the grave, wooooooooo."
He wrote: "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 we 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..."
Reddit user Beersie_McSlurrp said that it "gets
personal" from then on.
He posted on the Reddit, "He told me how proud
he was of me for becoming the rank of Chief
(border security) and that he loved me. Really
nice to receive so long after he passed."
FutureMe says on its website: "Usually, it's the
future that will reflect back on the present. We
decided to flip that around. So send your future
self some words of inspiration. Or maybe a swift
kick in the pants.
"Or just share some thoughts on where you'll or
what you'll be up to in a year, three
years...more? And then we'll do some time
travel magic and deliver the letter to you."
