Elena Desserich was diagnosed with brain cancer just before her sixth birthday. She was told she has 135 days to live, but she lived 255 days, passing away in 2007.
Okay, get ready a hanky, prepare to cry.
Elena began writing and hiding hundreds of little love notes around the house for her parents to find after she was gone. After her death, Elena’s parents, Brooke and Keith Desserich, found hundred of notes from Elena hidden around the house — in between CD cases, between bookshelves, in dresser drawers, in backpacks.
Elena’s parents 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.
