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.

Here are a couple of the notes.

What a loving and heartwarming story . Bless her heart for such thoughtfulness, love, and kindness. It's amazing at such a young age she knew her notes would be cherished and help heal her family's heartache and pain . Now Elena's free of pain and dancing with the angels ^j^. May God bless her family with extra faith, strength and hope in all their days ahead.
