October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My grandma had breast cancer and passed away when I was young. Even though I was a little girl, I have SO MANY memories of her and with her that I am so grateful for. My siblings and I were very lucky to have her and my grandpa live so close to us because we were able to see them all the time. My grandma was an amazing woman. She always thought of others first and could make a friend anywhere. I loved when we would sit outside on her swing and sing together, I loved her voice. We would have tea parties after hours of swimming in her pool, sit on her lap when she was Mrs. Claus and try not to call her Grandma, play with her little lipsticks while she put on her makeup, pick flowers for her from her plant outside, have sleepovers when I didn't want to go skiing with the rest of my family, and so much more. I constantly think about her and how I wish she was here. I wish she was in the audience at every feis, at my confirmation, my high school graduation, my brother and sister's college graduations, my sister's wedding, and when Jaxson was born. There are going to be a hundred more occassions that I wish she was there. Deep down I know she watching from above with a huge smile on her face and that makes missing her so much a little easier. "I love you to Grandma and back!"
