  I WROTE THIS FOR Y GRANDMOTHER WHEN SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN 2007.

I’m sorry I haven’t been around
I guess I’m just scared
Scared to see you sick
Scared to see you fighting

All my life you’ve been
The strongest person I’ve known
Its scary how all that can change
When the test results come back

I’ve never been so scared
For anything else ever before
I don’t want to lose you
I don’t know what id do without you in my life

I try to be strong when I come to you house
I put on a face like I’m ok
But as soon as I get in my car and drive away
That’s about the time the tears begin to fall

I cry for the fact that you’re sick
I cry for the fact that you’re being strong for me
I cry for the fact that I love you
I cry for the fact that one day you’ll be gone
