Girl Loses Her Mom, Finds Encouraging Letter Mom Wrote Before Death
November 14, 2017

"...Please hug your parents a little closer and never take them for granted because you never know when you could lose them." Hannah started her post.
Hannah's mom, Peggy learned she was battling a rare Stage 4 cancer (Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma) in July 2016. Doctors hoped with chemotherapy and surgeries they would be able to slow the progression of the disease. It took four different chemotherapies before they found one that worked for Peggy's disease. When doctors were able to schedule the surgery, it was already a year later. RELATED: Doctors Turn To Prayer When There’s Nothing More They Can Do For Sick Girl At the doctor's appointments directly before surgery, Peggy was prepared how risky the surgery would be. That's when she decided that she needed to write her family, just in case. Peggy knew there were so many things she needed to say to her children and husband. She realized that if the surgery didn't work her children would need to have Mom's encouraging words to fall back on. Mom always knows. credit: Facebook/Hannah Summers Peggy did make it through the surgery. However, her body was unable to recover completely and she passed away 4 months later. The letters were read by her family the night that she passed away.before my mom passed she wrote us all letters. this is mine. please hug your parents a little closer and never take them for granted because you never know when you could lose them. I love you momma. 💗 pic.twitter.com/e2TZtg92bK

"Her words helped me realize that no matter how hard this whole situation is going to be, she will always be with me." Hannah shared.[/slide] The family remembers how Peggy kept her strength and encouraging thoughts throughout her tough ordeal. They are proud of how she was able to see the good in situations and fight not just physically but mentally.
'There are people who have it much worse than me.' Peggy would say.Peggy's letter to Hannah started so honestly.
 "Hannah, if you are reading this then the surgery did not go well. I'm sorry, I tried my best to beat this terrible disease but I guess God had other things for me to do."credit:Facebook/Hannah Summers
Choosing Her Perspective
There is no doubt that faith played a large factor in Peggy's life outlook. It was faith that gave her peace through the scariest of situations. She believed fully that God had a plan for her life and has one for her children as well. RELATED: 98-Yr-Old Mom Left Home, Shared The One Thing She’ll Never Stop Doing Her selfless perspective served her so well as a Special Education teacher's aide at the local high school. Peggy used her love of service and touched so many lives while she was here. Hannah and her siblings knew they had something special."She loved us kids more than words can describe! She was seriously, my best friend! I feel so lucky to have been given this last year to get even closer to her and to really appreciate having her around."ÂThousands of people responded to Hannah's post which went viral. She didn't expect so many people to resonate with her story, but she's glad that they did. h/t: Wane.com YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Trucker Gets Dying Wish To Take Final Ride In 62-Year-Old Studebaker credit: Jake Bacon, Ariozna Daily Sun
