Dear All:
" e, h: A9 f& `2 h& ?

PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know!  It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
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 q' q2 ^1 v; X: v, s4 GShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
# M4 `. E; m, T7 CBy 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!
# c: [* E: [9 vPLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

这诗的大概意思让人们停下匆匆的脚步，好好地体会生命，好好地关爱身边的人。
