Grandma A, my best friend and a huge part of my life.

When I was born in 1986 my mom wasn't allowed the maternity leave like most moms. She had to got back to work two weeks after giving birth to me. She worried and fussed over who would watch me. She found this amazing woman my grandma A. She took me and become a motherly figure to me, as I grew she became my grandma and her husband my grandpa.


Now that I am almost 25 years old she has become my best friend and woman I want to be like when I am 83 years old. She has had ten children and watched most of them die before they should have. She has witnessed wars and devastation. She watched has her husband fought his battle with cancer and was defeated. She herself fought her own battle and has defeated it with no help of chemotherapy. 


I received this news that she was in remission on Thursday afternoon when she gave me a ring. I was thrilled absolutely thrilled to know that she defeated it with living her everyday life. She says she feel like an 83 year old that is fit as a fiddle and I couldn't be happier.
