My Hero;

Grandpa

Through the sickness, you smile

through the tears, a laugh comes around

The struggles are made to break us

but with your struggles you stay strong

The love you share

warms the hearts of those who care

 For each day, it brings a new beginning 

A new day to smile and be with those so proud

 A man with a smile that can go on for miles

Caring and strong

He pushes forward when his sickness brings him down

My younger year seems so faded now that the time is near

Each day I cherish, Trying to be the person you wanted me to be

 Knowing your proud, and that even though it's hard someday everything will be okay 

When I have children of my own and they ask me who I looked up to the most 

I'll say "My grandfather" and if they ask why I'll reply " Because he's the one who helped me as a person grow into someone I wanted to be." 

Grandpa You mean the world to me, and when things get rough again I know you'll be right by my side to say everything that is wrong with my life in the end will be okay.

Keep strong and hold on because this fight is not going to be easy to beat but I know you'll be able to

I love you

The last four months have been really hard for my family, my grandpa was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, stage 2 bone cancer with mesothelioma. I am very close to my grandpa. The thought of him not being around one day shatters me. He is my hero, Even with cancer he still day by day has a smile on his face. Stays strong for everyone in our family, even when he doesn't have enough strength to move from one room to another. I love my grandpa dearly and without his love and support with everything I do, it will be a major struggle  for me. There isn't an easy way to prepare yourself for death of a loved one but at some point I'll have to face the reality that he isn't going to be around forever. My grandpa is a loving and caring man, who would drop everything to see his family happy. He has helped me through a lot over these years, The moments I thought I was going to crack again he was by my side making sure I was alright, With everything I do he is there, and proud of me. I am proud to be the granddaughter of such a great man. I love you grandpa so much. I will always love you. I just hope someday I can make you as proud as I am of you.
