  {. K- U0 w) X2 HPLEASE 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.

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!
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。

" [1 O( S& _) F+ p6 A& t2 [7 K8 c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。
