Have you ever thought about what legacy you will leave for your loved ones when you’re gone? Elena Desserich, a 6-year-old girl who died from pediatric brain cancer, left beautiful yet heartbreaking reminders of her love—memories that would live on in the hearts of her family and indeed people all around the world.

Elena’s parents, Keith and Brooke Desserich, of Ohio, were fearful to think that their beautiful, hopeful little girl might have known that she had only a few months to live. But it seemed this sunny, adorable 6-year-old had prepared for her own death after being diagnosed with deadly cancer, and she was so sweet as to think of comforting her family after she was gone.
