'I am one proud mama right now': Emotional Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell attends daughter’s graduation amid cancer battle

Mama June's oldest daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell, who is battling a rare form of illness, was overcome with emotion when she witnessed her daughter Kaitlyn receive her elementary school graduation. "I am one proud mama right now," she posted on Facebook Tuesday, May 23, adding, "and I also can’t believe I am going to have a middle schooler and a second grader give me a minute while I go cry my eyes out I am so proud of my girls and everything they have accomplished."

The 28-year-old Cardwell uploaded images from her 10-year-old's special day, one of which showed Kaitlyn addressing the ceremony. She also uploaded pictures of herself with the graduate, Kylee, 7, her other daughter, and her boyfriend Eldridge Toney.

'So proud of the girls!'

Fans have shown their love and support for the 28-year-old mother in her Facebook post, with many referring to her as a "wonderful mother." A fan commented, "You are a wonderful mother and Eldridge is a geat father figure to them. Praying for you and your family also." Another user congratulated them and said, " I can't believe how fast they are growing up." "So proud of the girls! Look at Kaitlyn!" mentioned one person. A longtime fan said, "Great job! Shes so grown up. Remember watching the show when she was a baby."

Cardwell's appearance occurs about two months after it was reported that she had been given a stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis, a rare cancer in which malignant cells develop in the outer layer of the adrenal gland, as per Cancer.gov. The 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' alum had a number of tests for stomachaches before learning about her ailment. She later had cancer found in her lung, kidney, and liver. Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, Cardwell's younger sister, was the first relative to corroborate the information in March, as per Page Six.

June 'Mama June' Shannon has volunteered to take care of Cardwell's daughter and grandchildren since she had to leave her position as an auto saleswoman in order to focus on her health. "June and Anna were slowly working on building back their relationship about a year ago, but Anna’s recent stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis has rapidly brought the pair even closer," a family source said to TMZ last month.

'You're a good mama'

Fans expressed their wishes for Cardwell's rapid recovery in response to her emotional Facebook post, with one saying, "You're a good mama, Anna Marie Cardwell .. Praying and believing for your complete healing in Christ." Someone commented, "It's amazing to see you smile Anna, nothing can bring you down!! Shows how strong you are," while another wrote, "Congratulations girls and momma job well done."
