The Killing "C"

My family means the world to me, but my grandparents are my heart. They are the reason I have such great parents and that fact that I'm even here,but nothing hurts more than finding out that out of the 4 one is currently dealing with cancer.

Now my grandpa Jose which we call him Abuelito "Pepe" I know it sounds like the guy in the beginning of my blog but thats a whole different thing (weird) well he is my dad's dad, the Hernandez side. We found out last year that he has stomach and throat cancer. It was so devastating  because I never had to deal with something like this upfront. I remember when my mother told me I hadn't really processed it yet, until one day when my roommate and I were listening to some music out of no where I just broke down. It hit me that someone I love so much is going through pain that we can't take away. 

He is doing great, he is fighting and I'm so proud of him. Going to a chemo with him and seeing him smile is just so hard but yet amazing to see. 

Every time the family gets together he starts to cry, I know they aren't tears of sadness but tears of joy, that he is with us another year and some disease is not going to change that.

The love we have for him is forever and we will fight this battle together.
