A little girl named Elena from Ohio who got very sick. Even though the doctors said she only had nine months to live, she decided to do something special for her family. Elena wrote notes filled with love and hid them around her house, like little surprises.
Elena’s notes had drawings and sweet messages like ‘I love you Mom, Dad, and Grace’ and ‘I’m sorry I’m sick.’ Even though Elena passed away, her family found her notes and felt like she was giving them hugs from heaven. Her mom and dad framed some notes and put them around the house to always remember Elena’s love.
It’s been fifteen years, and Elena’s family still misses her a lot. But her notes help them smile, even if it’s just a little, through the sadness. Elena’s mom and dad made a special book with her notes called “Notes Left Behind.” They share the book to help other kids with brain cancer and remember their amazing daughter.
Elena’s story is a bit sad, but it’s also full of love and courage. So, if you know someone who needs a little warmth in their hearts, share Elena’s story with them. It’s like sending a hug from Elena to make their day better.
