Tis True, today is the 11th anniversary for my Grandma. She's been gone for 11 years.

She has lung cancer, and was a big part of the family, especially around this time of year. She'd be all around, making sure that there was enough food for the rest of the kids & Grandkids who'd be heading down there around this time, on this day (being the day before Thanksgiving)
A few years before she died, she fell ill with Mesothelioma, due to her father working with Asbestos. And she wasn't realy able to cook or get up all that much, due to the chemo-therapy she recieved.

So a few years of fighting, tears, sleepless nights, countless hospitals visits. She laid, wasting away, slowly. So, on November 21st 1996, My Grandmother Azalia 'Babe' Meyer, finally lost the fight to Cancer.
I know it sounds selfish, but I wanted her, My Grandpa and my Uncle to make it to my graduation, or at least my 16th birthday, you know? But life is always throwing us a cerveball now and then.

And this is my shout out to her, seeing as she'll never make it to my graduation or wedding..

I LOVE YOU GRANDMA! and I'll see you soon enough heart
