♥  Dedicated to Grandma with love


Grandma in the 80's



GRANDMOTHER

I know you were sent from heaven.
To love your children and grandchildren.
To help them on life's journey.
One of your greatest gifts is your love.

There is no one like you.
You are the rose God put in our garden.
You are the sunshine that brightens our days.
God's light shines all around you.

I love you Grandma.

When I look at my grandma, I see a woman after God's own heart. She has devoted her life to serving Christ and lending a helping hand. She thinks of others, before thinks of herself. Her love and compassion is beyond words. Too me, she is an angel sent from heaven. When mom went to Australia, I had a choice of weather I wanted to go or not. I chose to stay, because I was about to start the second semester of my senior year and I wanted to graduate. So, grandma moved in and took care of me while she was overseas.
 
  In April of 2006, grandma was diagnosed with stage 3 Breast Cancer. She had a mastectomy of her right breast as well as the lymph nodes on May 5th, 2006. Of her lymph nodes, 25 out of 26 were cancerous. They did body scans and didn't find cancer anywhere else in her body.

At the end of May 2006, She started her Chemo treatments. She had a total of 8 treatments, which were once every 3 weeks and they were completed In October. Her Radiation Treatments started just before Thanksgiving. She had 25 total and her last treatment was in January of 2007.

In May of 2007, she had her left breast removed to reduce the chance of the Cancer coming back. She did amazingly well through all of her treatments. God was and continues to be by her side. She is Cancer free and I know in my heart that God has healed her. To God be all the glory and praise!
