I didn't realize how common cancer was until I had it. Eating what I thought was one of the many other breakfast McDonald’s meals with my grandfather, I never really processed how he was going through one of the cruelest cancers there is to man; how a small part of his body was taking his contagious laughter and bright smiles away from me. I was confused as to how he could still smile like everything would be okay, and as if he could hear my thoughts, taking his last breath with the most authentic, barely noticeable smile I have ever seen him make, will always be in my heart.
