I know it must be hard for all of you. Cancer is a horrible thing. It drains the life right out of you. I have had a very personal experience with it. Like it says on my personal page I lost my great-grandmother to cancer. Yes, she lived through it for a long time and she kept fighting until the end but she wasn't the same. She was losing her mind as she got more and more sick from the cancer. She hurt when she moved and at one point before she passed away she couldn't move or talk at all. It hurt her when anybody touched her or moved her. Sometimes I think it hurt her to breathe. I loved my great-grandmother and even though she has passed she still lives inside of me. Her love has been and hopefully always will be a part of my life because without her it wouldn't have ever been the same. She was an amazing woman and raised eight children. My mother is buying a luminary for both her and my great-grandfather. He passed when I was probably about a year. He too died from cancer.
