Abandonment
Summer's pretty well set-up with Aunt May and Uncle Ob in Missing May, but that doesn't mean that she's not always looking over her shoulder. After all, she was essentially tossed around from one home to another as a little kid, so she doesn't take anything for granted and is always just a little bit worried that it'll be taken away from her. So when Aunt May dies, Summer and Ob have to deal with their feelings of loss and abandonment, and all the while, Summer's worried that Uncle Ob will die of a broken heart and abandon her. Oof. Those are some pretty big concerns for a little kid, don't you think?
Aunt May and Summer are similar in that being abandoned as children didn't turn them bitter or hateful—instead, they both become more loving and giving because of their early experiences.
Even though Uncle Ob and Summer feel as though Aunt May has abandoned them in death, by the end they both realize that she's still around guiding them in the right direction.
