Grandma
If I could change one event that occurred in my life, it would be that before the death of my Grandmother, I would have spent more time with her. Since I was a child, my grandma has had cancer. Her first cancer was Multiple Myeloma, which is basically a cancer of the bone.I never truly understood the effects of her cancer until I got older, and even then growing up, it became usual for my family and I. Of course, being a teenager, spending time with my family is almost never a top priority. She was a survivor for almost ten years. In January, we discovered, from the treatment to the first cancer, she had developed a new type of cancer, Leukemia. She became very ill and her body began to reject the chemo. She was in great pain, and passed away on Feburary 14, 2012. Although I miss her, I have come to terms with her death. I do regret not spending as much time as I could have with her because I know how much I meant to her and she means the world to me. The time we did share though, I cherish and I cannot wait to meet her in heaven again one day.
