This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.9 [7 e; Y' C0 @2 J$ j7 b0 |& O- M0 _
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.' W. B& P: d2 G) n: P
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!

这几天赋闲在家,我也想如此,可是每次开车外出,看着车辆稀疏的街道,我心里就感觉特别惶惶。
