"Elena 5esserich was nearly 6 years old when she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. As the cancer took its toll, her ability to speak was gradually stolen away. But little elena would not be denied. Wise beyond her years, she continued to communicate and express her love for her family through handwritten notes.

Sadly, cancer took Elena less than a year after her diagnosis. Before she died, however, she apparently began to hide literally hundreds of little love notes and drawings throughout the house for her family to find after she was gone. Her parents would continue to find them intermittently in places like briefcases, among christmas decorations, and tucked between the pages of old colouring books."

And I find people who struggle with illnesses who are the ones who actually live their life to the fullest, thoughtful and sympathetic. Those who truly treasured their life end up not living to the longest age they could reach, but its the warm and respect that I truly respect. :)
