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 youcould lose them. I love you momma. 妈妈去世前，给我们每个人都写了信，这封是给我的。对你的父母再抱紧一些吧，不要对他们视若无睹，因为你永远不知道你会在哪一天失去他们。我爱你，妈妈。 和这条推文一起，汉娜还附上了因患肾癌去世的母亲佩吉·萨默斯(Peggy Summers)写给自己的“遗书”——用电脑打出的一页半纸，最后用铅笔歪歪扭扭地签上Mom。   这封信的开头便是： 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. 汉娜，如果你读到这封信，说明手术没有成功。我很抱歉，为了和这场可怕的疾病作斗争，我已经全力以赴。但是我想，也许是上帝有别的事情想让我做。 信虽然不长，却满含一位母亲对女儿无尽的爱与不舍。母亲总是苦口婆心，直到生命的最后一刻，她仍旧和女儿念叨着关于学业、感情以及日常生活的种种，告诉汉娜一些未来她无法当面说出的人生建议，简单质朴却充满智慧。 她告诉女儿要好好学习，不要过早为工作的事情焦虑。
她劝女儿远离各种party，男孩子并不全部都是坏人，但总有些人对你另有所图。
她提醒汉娜不要一个人出门，拼车去学校，随身携带急救箱，学会依靠那些爱她的人，并对他们说“我爱你”。
当然，她没有忘记自己的丈夫。她告诉女儿，爸爸会经历很痛苦的一段时间，因此要对他更有耐心。
最后，她郑重地告诉女儿，尽管她已离开，却会一直陪伴她身边，为她生命中的每一个重要时刻而喝彩。
“我永远比你想象中更加爱你。”这是佩吉写给汉娜的信的最后一句，读之令人泪目。  汉娜在社交网站上分享的与妈妈的合影 关于生命之脆弱，关于母爱之伟大，我们想说的太多，能说的却太少。
这篇推文在网上火了之后，汉娜告诉媒体： Even though it was so hard, it also brought me a lot of comfort. Her words helped me realisethat no matter how hard this whole situation is going to be, she will always bewith me.
对我来说，读这封信是件很痛苦的事情，但同时也带给我许多安慰。妈妈的话让我意识到，不管遇到怎样的困难，她都会一直在我身边。 面对这封令人心碎的绝笔信，网友在安慰博主的同时，也分享了自己的经历和体验。Facebook上一位用户说： I lost my dad around a year ago, he didn't leave behind any last words or letter but I'd like to imagine he would have written something like this. 一年前我失去了我的父亲。他没有给我留下任何话或信件，但我愿意相信他也想对我说类似的话。 一位Twitter用户也分享了他类似的经历： My mom passed also and she wrote me a letter exactly a year before just 'in case.' I treasure it daily. So sorry for your loss, stay strong. 我妈妈也去世了。以防万一，她在一年以前也给我写了一封信。我每日珍藏。节哀，坚强。 另一位网友说： I lost my mom 2004. This is the truth! Hug them love them while they are here. 我在2004年失去了我的妈妈。真的，拥抱他们，爱他们，趁他们还在。 网友的回复和鼓励也让汉娜勇气倍增。她表示，最开始时她并没有想把这封信公开，但当她反复阅读来自妈妈的人生建议，她越来越觉得应该将其分享出来。 There is so much good advice in the letter and it's very eye-opening for many people. I'm so happy Mom's words have been able to touch so many people. Life is precious and we should never take it or our loved ones for granted. 信中有很多好的建议，给许多人以启发。我很高兴妈妈的话感动了这么多人。生命如此珍贵，对于它，以及我们所爱的人，我们永远不应视若无睹。  汉娜在社交网站上分享的与妈妈的合影 下面附上这位母亲所写的信的全文（勤劳的东方君将这封信逐字敲打出来，原文用词比较简单，就不为大家翻译了。最重要的是，让我们怀一颗感恩之心去聆听这位母亲真诚而质朴的人生建议吧！）： 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. Please don’t be mad, bad things happen in life and we have to learn to deal with it no matter how much it hurts.
I want you to be happy and use the gifts God has given you. You will be a wonderful nurse just as you are a wonderful person. Study hard in school, don’t worry about a job. If you want to work in the summer fine but you need to really concentrate in school.
Be patient with dad, this is going to be hard on him and he will need time. You both need to lean on each other and talk a lot which is not one of our strong points but try and don’t give up. Remember you have a lot of people who love you so talk to them often (Rise, Cassie, Erica, Becky, Michelle, Holly and the twins, etc,).
Use your common sense about things like not going anywhere by yourself and having an emergency kit in your car in the winter. If you can car pool to school do it, stay away from parties because they are usually bad, not all boys are bad but most will tell you anything to try to get you to do things, try to hang out with people who have the same beliefs as you because they will make you stronger.
Remember that I am still with you and still as proud of you as I always have been. Keep God in your life and never be ashamed to let other know you love God. If you have kids some day make sure they know how much I love them and wanted to be there to see them.
You are going to do great in life and I will be smiling with you through all the important moments in your life. I am thankful God gave us this past year to get closer and spend memories and tell everyone you love then as often as you can. Enjoy life and live each day as if it is your last because none of us know if today will be the last.
And most of all remember that I Love You morethan you will ever know! Mom 生命不易，且行且珍惜！
