year-old Athena got sick so suddenly…

When Athena Orchard was just 12 years-old, she discovered a bump on her head. Then, later she blacked out at Christmas. Soon after this incident, she was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent aggressive chemotherapy. Life wasn’t fair for this little girl from New Parks, Leicester.

Sadly, she passed away last Wednesday. She was only sick for a few months before losing her battle with cancer. However, she didn’t let her cancer defeat her spirit.

As her father was going through her things, he made an incredible discovery. Athena had a large, secret message written on the back of her bedroom mirror.

After she passed away only months after being diagnosed, her parents discovered hidden messages from their daughter on the back of a mirror.

They never knew anything was behind the mirror because it was always leaning against the wall.

This is just a snippet of the note that Athena left behind her mirror. Her words are full of hope, love and wisdom. It’s difficult not to tear up when you see some of her final thoughts:

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.
“Maybe it’s not about the happy ending, maybe it’s about the story.
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. Happiness is a direction not a destination.
“Thank you for existing. Be happy, be free, believe, forever young.
“You know my name, not my story.
“You have heard what I’ve done, but not what I’ve been through.
“Love is like glass, looks so lovely, but it’s easy to shatter.
“Love is rare, life is strange, nothing lasts and people change.
“Every day is special, so make the most of it. You could get a life-ending illness tomorrow so make the most of every day.
“Life is only bad if you make it bad.
“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.
“Life is a game for everyone but love is the only prize.”

These are the kinds of perspectives that most people struggle to have and maintain, yet this sick girl fully committed to them. Share Athena’s incredible outlook on life; she had an amazing spirit, even in her final days. Click the Share button below to show others her secret message.

 Being stabbed by a knife attached to your own cockfighting chicken during a match (Jose Luis Ochoa in 2011).

Forget heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming about 600,000 lives a year. We just found some absolutely bizarre ways you could die. We’re not saying you’re in any immediate danger of being killed by any of these situations, but it has happened before…
The worst part about these ways you may kick the bucket? You’ll never, ever see any of these coming. They’re that strange.

Overdosing on carrot juice (Basil Brown in 1974).

Getting hit by a flying lawnmower during a football halftime show (John Bowen in 1979).

Falling out of a window you threw yourself against to prove the glass was unbreakable (Gary Goy in 1993).

Inventing the Segway… then driving it off a cliff (Jimi Heselden in 2010).

Accidentally launching a missile at yourself (HMS Trinidad).

Reading your own obituary and dying from shock (Marcus Garvey in 1940).

Being bitten by a domesticated monkey (Alexander I of Greece in 1920).

Shooting yourself while showing a jury how a victim could have shot himself (Clement Vallandigham in 1871).

Getting shot by a cannonball that was fired in honor of your not dying in battle (John Kendrick in 1794).

Eating too much at a feast held in your honor (Julien Offray de La Mettrie).

Getting an infection because you were scratched by the teeth of your enemy’s decapitated head while riding your horse (Sigurd the Mighty of Orkney in 892).

Being beaten to death by your own wooden leg (Sir Arthur Aston in 1649).

Starving in your own house that you were stuck in because you were a hoarder (Homer Collyer in 1947).

Being the first human killed by a robot, because a factory robot’s arm fell and hit you on the head (Robert Williams in 1979).

Having a heart attack during a scene of a play where your character is having a heart attack (Gareth Jones in 1958).

Being smothered to death by gifts given to you by fans (Draco the Athenian lawmaker in 620 BC).

Ingesting pills of mercury, hoping it’d grant you eternal life (Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, in 210 BC).

Breaking your neck by tripping over your beard (Hans Steininger in 1567).

Using a coat as a parachute while jumping off of the Eiffel Tower (Franz Reichelt in 1911).

Drowning at a New Orleans “No Drowning This Year” party (Jerome Moody in 1985).

Each of these bizarre occurrences were real reasons why people died. They had no idea this would happen (and most of them are pretty ironic). Don’t think you’re safe just because you don’t smoke, drink or play with fire. A loaf of bread could be your undoing.
