"You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance." - Franklin P. Jones

Today, I came across a link of my facebook page and it just showed a little girl smiling with a short little title, but the words brain cancer stuck out, so I clicked. I am so glad that I did. Here is the article:

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"

Here are some of the notes:

What's sad is that if you click on the link and then scroll down, people post comments. I could not believe the types of comments people wrote. Why are people so mean? It really reminds me that there is not much good in people. Maybe the good is only in the children. But, my question is, when do you stop being thoughtful and loving and turn into a heartless disbeliever in anything?
