Heartbreaking message recorded by seven-year-old girl to her future unborn siblings telling them to be 'always happy and nice' are found on her cell two years after she died from cancer

A child who succumbed to cancer at just nine years of age left a message for her unborn siblings, reminding them to 'always be happy and nice,' on her cellphone a full two years before she was diagnosed with a deadly illness. 

Destiny Arianna Kay Riekeberg was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 and died in September but she filmed this video in 2018, before her mother became pregnant with a sibling. 

Her mom, Lacretia Riekeberg, didn't find the video until 2022 when she decided to look through her daughter's phone to go through old memories.

The 45-year-old from Chelsea, Alabama, USA, lost Destiny when she was just nine years old and is now mom to one-year-old Deuce, who will of course be shown the video when he is old enough to understand.

Lacretia said: 'She was an only child for all of her life and we never talked about having more children.

'The video was found on her two-year angel anniversary, I was lying in bed very sad with her little brother who was a newborn.

'She had almost 3000 videos in her phone from just 2018 alone, the fact I was even looking on her phone that year and didn't see it makes no sense.

'What makes it so special is that it was before she was even sick, she didn't know what was going to happen but now it makes sense.

'She was talking to me from heaven, and she led me to this video in her phone.

'It was incredible to have found this video knowing that she never knew she was going to die or have a sibling.'

Lacretia explained in a May 2020 interview with WBRC in Alabama that Destiny was diagnosed around Christmas time with a rare form of liver cancer. 

Prior that, she had been a typical 8-year-old who especially loved cheerleading. 

'As soon as Christmas break hit, boom, she was down for the count... I looked at her and thought, oh my gosh, my daughter looks like a cancer patient,' Lacretia said.

After being admitted to a local hospital, Destiny had emergency surgery and spent the next four months battling the disease.   

She was finally released to go home in April 2020 but was due to undergo a rare procedure that summer.

According to her heartbreaking obituary, Destiny was 'a thriving, healthy athletic little girl.'

She loved cheerleading, softball and beauty pageants. 

'We as parents never had to push our child to be the best. It was a part of her DNA. She gave 100 percent in any and everything she set out to do, including battling cancer. We couldn’t be more proud of her, one section of the heartbreaking tribute reads.
