Young Girl Receives a Reply from Her Father’s Email Years after His Death – Story of the Day
Maria’s father died from a sudden heart attack when she was starting college. They often kept in touch through email, so Maria continued sending him messages long after he was gone. But one day, she received an unexpected reply.
“Our deepest condolences, Maria. He was one of the best men we knew,” her father’s neighbor, Mrs. Alexandra Juarez, told her. Maria’s father Ricardo died unexpectedly, and they were at his funeral. Everyone was giving Maria their condolences.
She was his last living relative. Her mother died when she was just five years old. Now, I’m truly an orphan, she thought as other guests offered their sympathies. But nothing they had to say would soothe her pain.

Ricardo had been her best friend in the world, and he tried his hardest to make her childhood unforgettable when her mother passed. They lived in San Antonio, Texas, and the entire community had gathered to say goodbye.
“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us, Maria. You are not alone in this,” another guest told her, but she was barely listening. She wanted to go back home and cry alone in her room. Luckily, people left quickly.
Maria spent the next three days in bed, but she had to get up. She was 18 years old and a college student. Her professors would only give her so much leniency, especially in a challenging course like engineering.
She was a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, which was a point of pride for her father. He told everyone who would listen when she got accepted. Now, she was determined to graduate with honors and become successful in his honor.

But first, Maria had to shower, eat, and start answering some school emails. It was while she was checking her mail that she saw her father’s last email to her, which was sent from his work account because he didn’t know how to open a personal email.
Missing her father even more, Maria sighed and thought about not returning to her dorm anymore. She decided to email the faculty to explain her situation. After all, the house was near school, and it had so much more privacy. Luckily, her adviser agreed it was the best for her.
