When I was four years old my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with stage four inoperable lung cancer. My mom and I went with her to every appointment—chemotherapy, radiation, scans, check-ups, etc.—and she was eventually cured.

I was listening alone but had to deal with people coming in and talking to me, making it hard to pay attention.

    When you hear the word death or you hear that someone has died today in the news or on the television I know a lot of people think “Man, I feel sorry for the family that they have to go through that.” or they thank god that it was not them or their family members.” Sadly though people try to push away death and push away the fact that everyone dies at one point in time.
