This is a heart-warming, sad, inspiring story all in one!
These are the heartbreaking notes a six-year-old cancer victim hid for her family to find after she died.
Elena Desserich was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer when she was just five years old.
During her nine-month struggle with the illness, Elena, from Wyoming, hid hundreds of notes between the pages of books, in cupboards, drawers, bags, and clothes stashed away for the winter.

it kinda reminds me of when my little sisters were about 4 and 5 and i would come home from school or work every day and find like a dozne notes or pictures taped to my bedroom door or on my bed just telling me how much they loved me. I tried to keep everyone but have only managed to find about a dozen; I'll keep them forever =]
