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.3 o8 s- n  v7 Y+ c
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.3 h9 J! `$ d% n& H- _* \1 j9 u
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.; _6 H+ a9 D6 l4 ^
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!% L5 }* ~. R* ]: j  b# V) R5 T  G
PLEASE 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。" |3 @' m7 U. g5 U# O- ]

/ ^1 \7 D5 i. [6 F$ K4 S* O) Y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。
