Dying mum’s last letter to her daughter is breaking hearts everywhere

A daughter has shared the final words of advice her mother ever said to her, and the internet can't stop crying.

Hannah Summers mother lost her battle with cancer and the 18-year-old was left with a letter to cherish for the rest of her life. 

In her final message, Hannah's mum said: '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.'

The emotional letter also advised Hannah to 'be patient with dad', 'talk to [her friends] often', and 'use your common sense.' 

It closed with the emotional assurance that she will always be watching over her family.

The note closes: 'Remember that I am still with you and still just as proud of you as I have always been...

'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 more than you will ever know!'
