When he crossed the road on his way back to the hospital, he was hit by a speeding car and flew away. When he was sent to the hospital, he was already in a coma, but he was still holding the plastic bag with the bear in it. When he left, he said to the doctor: Bear... Give.. Sister, and then left with a silly smile, do not know he is sad or happy...

The doctor told his sister that the letters were written by him in imitation of the handwriting of a fool. He said he knew that a fool certainly did not want you to know that he had died when you were not well. The doctor said that he wanted to help a fool complete his wish, so he wrote those letters...

Only now she could no longer hear that silly laugh!

Sister came to the fool's room, in sorting out the fool's belongings found that she has always wanted to see the small book

It still smelled like a sandwich, and scrawled in the fool's handwriting:

...........................

Sister likes to sleep late, get up early gently, do not wake her

Sister does not like to eat sandwiches in the morning, like to eat instant noodles, get up early for her to do before going to work

My sister doesn't like me in her room. She doesn't like me being so close to her that I can't go into her room without her permission

Sister doesn't like people to know I'm her brother and definitely lets her classmates know I'm her brother

Sister is not well, but she must not know that she has the same disease as mother

I'll try to save money for my sister...

Sister's illness can be cured at last

Sister hugged the fool's little book and cried

From then on sister like a fool love to look at the stars on the lawn, the stars in the sky more than one, that is a fool brother in the sky close to mom and dad looking at her.

"A boy of the opposite sex who loves you, cherish it, it is a gift from heaven."
