Tourists from all over the world climb the Mayan ruin of Uxmal in Mexico. At the top, they are treated to an impressive view of the ancient city, one of the most important archeological discoveries of the Mayan civilization. Reddit user man0nthemoon915 was left speechless when he got to the peak but not because of the impressive landscape. Instead, the man found an unexpected letter placed in a bottle. The heartfelt letter came from “almost Katy Kraus,” a woman who was supposed to be in Mexico on her honeymoon but instead made the journey alone when her fiancé, 32-year-old Tre passed away a week before the wedding. Katy’s words about love and cherishing every moment left an impression on the man. “I went on vacation expecting my trip to be memorable for the beautiful landscapes and scenery but the one thing I’ll always remember and cherish from this trip is that note,” says man0nthemoon915.
To anyone who needs hope, My name is Katy and I’m supposed to be on my honeymoon. However a week before I was supposed to marry the love of my life, my best friend, he passed away. His name was Tre and he was a funny, strong, loving and caring man who made me feel like I was the only girl in the world. From the first time he held my hand I knew this was the man I wanted to marry. We wanted to see the Mayan temple and ruins and he was very excited when we decided to go on this cruise. So (I) decided to take this journey, make this climb for him. My words of encouragement (are) this: never give up. Easier said than done, I know, but try. There is so much life ahead and you never know when it’s over. Always love. There’s so much hurt and anger in this world you don’t want to leave this world without love in your heart. Always be yourself and laugh, because the one for you will always love you truly for who you are and will never make you feel as if you have to change anything. The one for you will always make you feel special like royalty. But remember you need to feel and be the same way to that person as well. That’s respect. Whoever finds this letter, I pray you find or have found love. That love that brings out the best in you that makes you a better person. And for anyone that has found that love and lost it, keep loving others. Don’t let the love die, try to laugh always live life. Love always, The almost Katy Kraus
