Hope you all are well. Ive been away from GOLO and yes on purpose and NOT cause I was promoted or anything BUT I wanted to share this awesome story of love

 

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"

That is an awesome story.

It deserves two blogs. Willow did a better job of presenting anyway.

Willow, this tore my heart. I will buy the book!

lol willow you terd, look like 2 blogs down. silly ;)

what made me mad was the comments a lot of folks were posting about this family, insisting its a fake story. losers.

"Elena, who died in August 2007, also left behind "The Kindergarten Survival Guide" for her younger sister Grace."

If this story doesn't affect you in some way you've got no heart at all.

I didn't read the link. Kinda know how the story goes.

Maybe tomorrow...

Welcome back.

Aw that is so sweet. Missed you. Great blog to come back here with. (((hugs)))
