The six-year-old girl who wanted to leave love letters to her parents

Quote:
When 6-year-old Elena Desserich was diagnosed with brain cancer, she began hiding hundreds of little love notes around the house for her parents to find after she was gone. She was given 135 days to live. She lived 255 days, passing away in 2007. After her death, Elena’s parents, Brooke and Keith, found hundreds of notes from Elena hidden around the house — in between CD cases, between bookshelves, in dresser drawers, in backpacks. “It just felt like a little hug from her, like she was telling us she was looking over us”. Elena’s parents, Brooke and Keith Desserich, later published these notes in a book called Notes Left Behind to fund a non-profit organization The Cure Starts Now dedicated to fighting pediatric brain cancer

Oh it's real, I just looked it up.

I bet they make a movie of it :(

Bless her heart :( That has to be one of the sweetest and also sadest things I have read in a while :( At least her parents will have such sweet, lovely memories of her to hold onto and know they made her short life a happy life.

-im going to come across as a prick WARNING-
Honestly, If I was the parents i'd be so depressed when finding them! Its a nice gesture nall and I know there not going to ever forget her... but them letters would just be constant reminders and it would be more sad finding them (in my point of view)

It could be depressing, but it could also be quite joyous for them. I am sure they took comfort in knowing that she loved them so much. Such a lovely thing for a child to do.

Would be awkward if they found one when she was still alive.
