This Girl Died Recently And Her Parents Just Discovered The Secret She Left Behind Her Mirror

By
#1 Athena Orchard At 12-Years-Old Was Like Any Teenager..

 Living in Leicester, UK, Athena was beautiful, cheerful and had plenty school friends when she'd found a lump on her head. She didn't think much about it, until one day she "collapsed in the kitchen" and was taken to the doctor. The news they gave was devastating.


Athena Orchard is like any other 12 year old. She’s a cheerful and beautiful girl with lots of good friends. She’s part of a big family as she watches over her 6 sisters and 3 brothers with care. However, she recently discovered a bump on her head which she didn’t worry about… until she collapsed in the kitchen. The doctors gave her a devastating diagnosis: bone cancer.


A huge unexpected shock for Athena and her family. Doctors race her to hospital where she endures a 7 hour operation to remove a tumor. After the surgery, she goes through chemo and loses ALL of her hair. She remained optimistic and hopeful but unfortunately the cancer was very aggressive. Shortly after she had her 13th birthday, she died surrounded by her family.


A few days after Athena’s death, her dad was tidying up her room. As he moved the mirror from the wall, he noticed something on the back. It’s filled with ink and the words are a message from his daughter. “I couldn’t believe it. It was almost 3,000 words long. It totally blew me away. I started reading the words, but I had to stop after awhile, it was simply to much – it broke my heart” said her dad.
'



 If someone loves you then they wouldn’t let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is. Remember that life is full of ups and downs, without the downs the ups don’t mean anything.

 I’m waiting to fall in love with someone I can open my heart to.

 Love is not about who you can see spending your future with it’s about who you can’t see spending your life without.

 There is no reason to cry, because I’ll know you’ll be by my side. - Athena says

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

By
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility. In the photos, President Bush looks tense as he converses with top officials in the President’s Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a highly-secure bunker situated below the East Wing, which can withstand nuclear hits and ‘other devastating attacks’. Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...

6 Things You Might Not Know About Gandhi

By
On January 30, 1948, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who led the Indian nationalist movement and became known around the world for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, was assassinated at age 78. He was gunned down in New Delhi by a Hindu extremist five months after India gained its independence from British rule. Check out some interesting facts about the man referred to as Mahatma (“great soul”) and the father of his country. 1. Gandhi was a teenage newlywed. At 13, Gandhi, whose father was the “diwan,” or chief minister, of a series of small princely states in western India, wed Kasturba Makanji (1869-1944), then also a teen and the daughter of a merchant. It was an arranged marriage, and Gandhi had been engaged to Kasturba since he was seven. The couple went on to have four sons. Even when Gandhi took a vow of celibacy in 1906 for reasons of spirituality, self-discipline and commitment to public service, his wife remained married to him until her death at age 74. She died a...
