Message in a CD case. In a drawer. In a backpack. In a . . .

Little Elena Desserich, a six-year-old diagnosed with brain cancer, hid love notes to her parents and sister all over their house before she passed on. The brief story contains links to the published book by her parents and the non-profit foundation which will receive the proceeds from the book.

What a beautiful little girl with an insightful, wise heart and mind. One of the story's commenters said she was an old soul. I agree -- you can see it in her amazing eyes.

Thanks for making me cry. I thought it was interesting to read the comments after the article. It's a funny thing how some people see suffering as evidence that God doesn't exist and other see the same as evidence he does. Same data; different conclusions. Life is effed up.

Sarah -- I didn't want to cry alone, so I figured I'd drag a friend into it. As for the conclusions folks draw when faced with something like this -- I don't know what to say.
