My Grandfather, last year in December was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I made this necklace as way to express my hope. Often times when my feelings are confused or just all over the place I turn to art. It helps fill a void where words often cannot.
I'm very sad about my Grandfather and hopeful at the same time. It feels so unfair, but in the end all I can do is be present and love him everyday. I spent Christmas day with him, it was wonderful. I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandfather I treasure each one like gold. My father told us as children he never really got the chance to know his grandparents. I am thankful for him keeping them in my life.
