Dear Everyone,
SallySem, a fellow cancer compass user, wrote in the brain cancer sub-forum of a story to help children understand death and dying. The story is called "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf."
It isn't just for kids - or maybe i am just a big kid - it touched my heart and brought a tear to my eye. If you have not seen this story before, it is a WONDERFUL, short (one page) story and is worth every second of the short time it will take you to read it.

PS I have no idea why this story is on the web site it is on. It does not appear to have anything to do with Buddhism.
