In this Aug. 14, 2017 photo, Jenny, left, and Jade Pebbles of Pleasant Hill, Ill., pose for a photo in Quincy, Ill. Jenny Peebles has a knack for seeing the silver lining in the darkest periods of her life. She has persevered through her parents divorce, the loss of her family home in a fire, the loss her brother to suicide, and a terrifying medical condition that Jade went through. "My family is good now," she said. "My kids are happy. As long as I raise kids that are happy and kind, then I've done a good job." (Jake Shane/The Quincy Herald-Whig via AP)
