COPD & Cancer; Never ending battle.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in my (& Josh's) family smoke or chew tobacco. My Grandpa which I recently posted was in the hospital. I knew it had to be something with smoking. He was diagnosed with a disease in the lungs called COPD. Cigarette smoke makes it worse, so he has to stop smoking if he wants to live a little longer, if he doesn't stop, he'll die soon. It breaks my heart. Grandpa was always my hero. It was like he could do anything. When ever my grandparents get sick it saddens me. Any of my grandparents, or Josh's. They've been through a lot, and they care so much about us, kids and their own kids. I've always been strongly attached to my grandparents, since I was born basically. They've done so much for me, & everyone in their family. They truly show you how important family is. Josh's grandma recently told me she is about to have a major surgery on her cancer in her glands (forgot the correct name of the glands) but her cancer grew and they are going to try to cut it out. Its in her neck as well, but I don't think they got all of it with her last surgery on her neck. She is such a fighter. She will not give up, and she is very determine to beat this cancer. This surgery could take her life. I pray hard everyday for each of these wonderful people in my life. Including our parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends. They all mean so much to us.
