October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month



I've cried a lot this month. My grandma passed way 3 weeks before Colby was born due to breast cancer. It is so fantastic so many organizations (like the NFL) are sporting pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness month, but it makes me miss my grandma even more.

Self-check, get checked. And if you find a lump and the doctor tells you it is nothing, don't accept that answer. DO NOT. Make them check and test and whatever else they need to do. Go to a different doctor if you have to. My grandma got mammograms regularly, but was stage 4 when the doctors figured out she had cancer.

She fought. She fought hard. And when that didn't work, she joined a case study to fight even harder.

I love you Grandma. I miss you Grandma. Thanks for the legacy you left.

It's still hard for me to graso the fact that she's gone. I'm so grateful for all the time we got with our sweet grandma!
