This Made me Tear Up

this story will make you so thankful for everything.

in fact, it made me cry.

I was reading Pois Rouge's darling blog posts and I cam across the sweetest, most adorable story ever.

Little Elena was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with a terminal form of brain cancer.  While her family planned her last few months, Elena had been secretly hiding notes around her home for her family to find upon her death.  Elena died in August 2007, but her parents and sister are still finding her notes everywhere.

  

You can read more about the amazing true story

Here.

Her parents have compiled all the found notes together in a book, titled Notes Left Behind, where all the proceeds go to the Cure Starts Now Cancer Foundation.

Wow.  I teared up reading the story.  How incredible is that?

big holiday post coming tomorrow.

have a good night.  xoxo.
