I picked this photo from a design by Shaland_designs. She makes different designs from clothes to jewelry to these wings. I think of my family members that have passed as my Angels. They fought a great fight but wasn’t able to stay. My favorite warrior was my grandfather, Oklahoma known as “OK”. My grandfather taught me so much and was so strong. My father was a soldier in the Army and went to Vietnam. He did not return the same as he went. There was my grandfather. He stepped in and picked up everything. OK gave me his remedy for seizures, aloe water boiled fresh every day. He took care of all of my siblings. He taught us how to shoot, clean, we watched as he fixed cars, so many life lessons. To see him fight his fight made me admire and love him even more. Not a day passes that I don’t miss him. After my grandfather, I have had to go through great aunts, cousins, great uncles, an uncle, great grandmother, all on my grandfather’s side to pass after their fight. I have great memories since we have always been a close family. My grandfather had 14 siblings and there are only one living sibling. All except for one had cancer. I don’t like cancer at all because they died so young but who does. I am happy to have the memories of my family. We value each other. We also get together very often because we know that tomorrow is not promised. #LoveMyFamily#Just4Cancer
