There are events that change who you are forever, whether it is good or bad. Cancer is something that changes the whole family. You will never truly understand until you have someone fight through cancer or another life threatening disease. I’m not saying you don’t feel something, I’m saying that the feeling changes completely when the person is close to you. In 2006 Cancer changed how my family thought; my grandmother (Mom’s mom) was diagnosed with breast caner. I remember the day I found out like it was yesterday, its one of those days that stay with you. She fought hard and with the support of family and friends has been cancer free since then. She is not the only one in my family that has gone though the fight of cancer, my great grandmother (My Moms dad’s mom) also is a survivor. The two quotes mean a lot to me because they are true, without hope and optimism the fight of cancer can be impossible. We are all stronger people now because of the whole experience.
As for the first picture, that is a tattoo that I want to get. It’s more then a random ribbon with hearts on, as some of you might think each part has a reason to be there. First the 5 hearts; each heart is for someone I know that had or is going through the fight of cancer. Then the words; Fight – You have to fight to beat cancer and my whole family did that with my grandmother, Love – Without love and support nothing is possible, and Hope – I hope that I can help find the cure, that I stay cancer free as well as my family, and that I don’t have to add any more hearts later on. The design on the outside is for all the people who put their hearts out there to help other people. I respect any and everyone who has ever helped raise money/awareness for any cancer or disease. You have done a good thing and one day, there will be a cure and you can be happy knowing you helped save peoples lives. (Also the tan in the background is like my skin, so there is no actual color in the background of the ribbon)
