something to warm the heart.

this is a tear jerker, but in a beautiful way.

If this doesn't tug at your heart, I don't know what to say.

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"

...

Elena's parents, Brooke and Keith Desserich, have now 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.

with all the fucked up stuff in the news and on the forums lately this is a heartwarming change of pace, still really sad, but proof that theres still indescribable beauty and love out there.

it's amazing how this little girl could cope so well with something that would send most adults over the deep end.
I'm sure a little piece of the parents heart breaks with every note they find, but at the same time i imagine they hope they never stop finding them.

That's really, really cute. It puts a smile on my face, it's a real shame about the girl, but that was a very cute thing to do before passing away.

isn't there a movie where that happened, but with an adult couple
