Maria, 12 years: A bright life ends in the fight against leukemia
Much, Deutschland - At the age of only 12, talented Mary has lost the fight against leukemia. Her parents describe her daughter as an extraordinary man who could deal with scissors, brushes and color before learning to eat with cutlery herself. Maria grew up bilingual and preferred to speak English before deciding on German. At the age of one and a half, she was able to learn the alphabet first in English and then in German. Their open and warm being attracted many people, but their perfectionism and their stubbornness sometimes burdened them.
Maria fought against the insidious illness three times and was twice victorious. Her third and last fight ended in Singapore, just five days before her 13th birthday. Her parents emphasize the courage and fighting spirit of her daughter, who has touched many hearts. They try to keep the beautiful memories of Maria alive instead of mourning the loss, such as 5min.at reported.
