This is to my grandfather (who passed when I was younger from lung cancer), one of my closest friends who taught me important life lessons (she passed late October 2015 from ovarian cancer), and my boyfriend's mother (who passed away a few years ago from liver cancer).

Words can't describe how much I miss my grandfather and my friend, and I wish I got the chance to meet my boyfriend's mother when she was still alive. He tells me stories about how they used to travel around together, and it breaks my heart when he mentions how the doctors lied to them for so long, saying how she was 'getting better' when she wasn't..

I wasn't able to go to either my grandfather's or friends' funerals, mainly due to distance (they both lived out of state). But I wrote a eulogy for them, that is still sitting on my computer.
