    Death. :cry: What an incredibly beautiful thing for the parents.

    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. Here’s the story:

    Just before her sixth birthday, Elena Desserich (right) was diagnosed with brain cancer and 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"

    Beautiful but heart wrenching. Not for the faint hearted or those afraid of tears.
