October has been taken over with pink. Men are wearing pink ties, my favorite foods packaging is all pink and I love it. It goes beyond breast cancer awareness for me. When I see pink I think of my Grandma and her unconditional love. Thank you to TracFone for sponsoring this post.
My grandma was gorgeous, inside and out.
She taught me to never give up on my dreams, just like she didn’t. After she raised four children she went back to school and got her degree in teaching and enjoyed many years as a teacher. She was also a fighter who battled breast cancer twice before it metastasized and she passed away. Losing her is something that I will never get over, but I feel like she never completely left… she is still a part of me and I hope I am making her proud by being the best mother I can be. I keep her memory alive year-round by telling my girls stories about her. My grandma was many things, but a great cook wasn’t one of them… but she still kept us well fed whenever we were with her. She also had a great appreciation for the arts and we spent a lot of special moments going to ballets and operas.
She always made me feel loved and I hope she knew just how much she meant to me.
One of my biggest wishes was that we had more time together. I lost her during my freshman year of college and each milestone of my life I am reminded that I can’t share them with her. I don’t want any other granddaughter to feel this way.
Nobody should lose a loved one to breast cancer. We need a cure.
I was so happy to see that TracFone feels the same way. In fact, they have partnered with Susan G. Komen Foundation this October and are donating 10% of proceeds from the sale of the Pink LG306, available at Dollar General stores and DG.com for $9, to the Susan G. Komen Foundation (up to $25,000). TracFone has participated in this awesome program for the past 6 years.
TracFone, one of America’s leading no-contract cell phone service providers, has shown its commitment to the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s important breast cancer research. You can join TracFone in supporting the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the effort to find a cure by purchasing this special phone.
I am sorry for your loss but as you say she never truly left you. I will wear pink with pride this month.
Sounds like your Grandmother was a wonderful lady 🙂
Thank you! She really was!
The Susan G Koman foundation is near and dear to my heart. My nana is a breast cancer survivor.
What a sweet tribute to a sweet lady. Thanks so much for the reminder 🙂
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I really hope they find a cure soon.
I like the color pink! Pink is a great way to find a cure.
Great tribute, great story, sorry for your loss.
May your grandmother rest in peace and may you continue to cherish memories of her. Namaste
It’s sad to lose a loved one. It’s definitely special when you have fond memories of them to carry you forward.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grand mother. I have a neighbor she is a breast cancer survivor. I will wear pink for this month
Breast cancer is such a heart breaking illness and you’re absolutely right, no one deserves to go through it. I’m sorry for what happened to your grandma, I’m sure she’s in a much better place now, away from all the pain and suffering.
Your grandmother sounds like an amazing lady. I lost my grandmother when I was 5. I love that TracFone is doing this to support breast cancer research.
Your grandmother looks like she was an amazing woman! 🙂
It’s a special month for me as well, but because my mom’s one. I’m sorry to hear about your loss, and I agree, we NEED a cure. Nobody should lose that battle.
Sorry about your grandmother, You are right we do need to find a cure.
My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. It’s such a terrible, awful disease. 🙁
What a beautiful picture and tribute to your Grandma! Mine was one of my best friends, and I miss her terribly every day. They leave such a special imprint on our hearts, and I’m so sorry you lost yours to this terrible disease!
Your grandma truly was stunning, and it’s clear from the picture that she was a good-hearted person. What a beautiful smile. It’s wonderful to see brands helping in the research quest… I think they will be responsible for helping eventually come up with a cure.
I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve also lost both of my parents to different forms of cancer.
My hubby has been wanting to upgrade his Tracfone, so this month would be a good time to do that.
Great campaign! I have two cousins who are breast cancer survivors. Purchasing this Tracfone will not only be beneficial for us because of the low cost of service, but it also help other women who are suffering with the disease.
I am sorry to hear that you lost your grandmother to cancer she sounds like an incredible woman. I lost my grandma nearly two years ago now to bowel cancer and I still miss her to this day. She was an incredible woman x
Your grandmother is beautiful! I’m so sorry for your loss…
