Losing one of our Own.

9 months ago on September 30, 2010, which happened to be her Daddy's birthday, Ryla lost her grandfather to cancer. He was diagnosed on September 10, 2010 with Acute Monocytic Leukemia.

He was always there for Ryla especially the time when Ryla went through it. We remember him saying how he wished he could take her cancer away. He couldn't bear seeing Ryla go through what she went through. He was very proud of his little granddaughter. He had no doubt she would pull through.

5 months before Ryla's grandpa past, we had also lost Ryla's great grandmother (her grandpa's mom). Our family has been slowly moving on but it is difficult. Ryla knew what her grandpa was going through when he was in the hospital and she was supporting and cheering him on to beat the cancer. I know it brought back memories for her because she always kept bringing up the times when she was hospitalized. We will always remember him and will continue to miss him.
