These are the heartbreaking notes a six-year-old cancer victim hid for her family to find after she died.

Elena Desserich was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer when she was just five years old.

During her nine-month struggle with the illness, Elena, from Wyoming, hid hundreds of notes between the pages of books, in cupboards, drawers, bags, and clothes stashed away for the winter.

very touching...reminds me of the film "PS i love you" but much more real!

on the link i noticed the comments...of course there had to be one cynic who suspected the parents were making it up to cash in with the book. how sad...
