This has got to be the saddest thing I have read all day. For the last 6 years or so this lady put a message in a bottle on her birthday and send it out by the lighthouse that she worked at on Thatcher Island (NY) and always hoped that somebody would find it and get in contact with her.
Someone did finally find her bottle which had traveled 3,200 miles since 2003. It was found by a couple in France. They were so excited about finding it, they sent her a postcard to the address she had left in the bottle, but the letter got sent back to them as undeliverable. They called the lighthouse place to ask about her, but they told them that she had passed away. She was 61 years old. Her boyfriend said that she had always hoped that someone would find one of her bottles, and it was so that she didn't live to see that wish.
This just got me. So sad, but so cool at the same time.
