By Dreamer
Keith and Brooke Desserich lives were shattered once they got news that no parents ever wants to receive. Right before she turned six-years-old, she unfortunately was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. Doctors said she only have nine months to live.
The Desserich family did their best to keep this heartbreaking news from Elena, however this young girl was very wise beyond her years. Once her treatment began to progress, she came to the conclusion that she would soon be going to heaven.
Elena was always a highly creative and artistic child who expressed herself through art and writing. During those nine months she battled cancer, she did something that would leave her family stunned.
Elena secretly left notes scattered around her Ohio home for her family to find after she died, in a way to help them cope with her inevitable death. She scribbled and drew colorful notes and doodles on any type of paper she could find, from Post-its to printer paper. She left them hidden in pages of books, cupboards and sock drawers. Some simply said “I love you,” while others were detailed and inspirational. Most of them featured her favorite symbol, a heart.
She even left behind notes to help prepare her younger sister Gracie for kindergarten.
Elena Desserich passed away in August 2007. A few days later, her family began finding the notes scattered throughout the house — and they decided to do something incredible with them.
