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.
媽媽去世前,給我們每個人都寫了信,這封是給我的。對你的父母再抱緊一些吧,不要對他們視若無睹,因為你永遠不知道你會在哪一天失去他們。我愛你,媽媽。
和這條推文一起,漢娜還附上了因患腎癌去世的母親佩吉·薩默斯(Peggy Summers)寫給自己的“遺書”——用電腦打出的一頁半紙,最后用鉛筆歪歪扭扭地簽上Mom。
這封信的開頭便是:
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.
漢娜,如果你讀到這封信,說明手術沒有成功。我很抱歉,為了和這場可怕的疾病作斗爭,我已經全力以赴。但是我想,也許是上帝有別的事情想讓我做。
信雖然不長,卻滿含一位母親對女兒無盡的愛與不舍。母親總是苦口婆心,直到生命的最后一刻,她仍舊和女兒念叨著關于學業(yè)、感情以及日常生活的種種,告訴漢娜一些未來她無法當面說出的人生建議,簡單質樸卻充滿智慧。
她告訴女兒要好好學習,不要過早為工作的事情焦慮。
她勸女兒遠離各種party,男孩子并不全部都是壞人,但總有些人對你另有所圖。
她提醒漢娜不要一個人出門,拼車去學校,隨身攜帶急救箱,學會依靠那些愛她的人,并對他們說“我愛你”。
當然,她沒有忘記自己的丈夫。她告訴女兒,爸爸會經歷很痛苦的一段時間,因此要對他更有耐心。
最后,她鄭重地告訴女兒,盡管她已離開,卻會一直陪伴她身邊,為她生命中的每一個重要時刻而喝彩。
“我永遠比你想象中更加愛你?!?/span>這是佩吉寫給漢娜的信的最后一句,讀之令人淚目。

關于生命之脆弱,關于母愛之偉大,我們想說的太多,能說的卻太少。
這篇推文在網上火了之后,漢娜告訴媒體:
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.
對我來說,讀這封信是件很痛苦的事情,但同時也帶給我許多安慰。媽媽的話讓我意識到,不管遇到怎樣的困難,她都會一直在我身邊。
面對這封令人心碎的絕筆信,網友在安慰博主的同時,也分享了自己的經歷和體驗。Facebook上一位用戶說:
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親。他沒有給我留下任何話或信件,但我愿意相信他也想對我說類似的話。
一位Twitter用戶也分享了他類似的經歷:
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.
我媽媽也去世了。以防萬一,她在一年以前也給我寫了一封信。我每日珍藏。節(jié)哀,堅強。
另一位網友說:
I lost my mom 2004. This is the truth! Hug them love them while they are here.
我在2004年失去了我的媽媽。真的,擁抱他們,愛他們,趁他們還在。
網友的回復和鼓勵也讓漢娜勇氣倍增。她表示,最開始時她并沒有想把這封信公開,但當她反復閱讀來自媽媽的人生建議,她越來越覺得應該將其分享出來。
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.
信中有很多好的建議,給許多人以啟發(fā)。我很高興媽媽的話感動了這么多人。生命如此珍貴,對于它,以及我們所愛的人,我們永遠不應視若無睹。

下面附上這位母親所寫的信的全文(勤勞的東方君將這封信逐字敲打出來,原文用詞比較簡單,就不為大家翻譯了。最重要的是,讓我們懷一顆感恩之心去聆聽這位母親真誠而質樸的人生建議吧?。?/span>
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!
