My grandma has worn face masks over her mouth and nasty bruises from chemo treatments, But the smile never left her lips. Her hands never too cold to squeeze. My grandma was told she would have to go through a half-mastectomy, and she dealt through the pain with as much bravery as a soldier going into war. So when you ask me who my role model is, I won't say it's Audrey Hepburn, or Johnny Depp, I'll merely point to my grandma, who now has a full head of hair, and say we're doin' just fine.

pink is for pride
My grandma has worn face masks over her mouth and nasty bruises from chemo treatments, But the smile never left her lips. Her hands never too cold to squeeze. My grandma was told she would have to go through a half-mastectomy, and she dealt through the pain with as much bravery as a soldier going into war.

It's my grandma's birthday tomorrow, and she's 100% cancer free--- this poem is to show how proud I am of her.
