1. “This picture of my mom and my 2 daughters was taken in December 2013. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2013. She finished her treatments in October 2013 and she and my dad surprised us with a visit from mid-November to mid-December 2013 (they live in Wyoming, we live in Michigan). This picture is so precious to me.” - Neisha Gabrysiak

9. “My 91-year-old grandmother came to live with my parents when her health started to deteriorate about 8 months ago. My 7-year-old son instantly loved her! He wanted to spend as much time with her as he could. This picture is the two of them playing dominos together. The tray they were putting the dominos on kept getting bumped, knocking over the dominos. The two of them laughed and laughed every time the dominos fell. My grandmother passed away two week ago and I'm so grateful for the time my children go to spend with her.”- Jacki Kennan

11. “My son and daughter had a wonderful relationship with their great-grandmother or in Korean, jeungjo halmeoni. Although she did not speak English, and they do not speak Korean, they could communicate through love. She was always there for them in life, and they were there for her as she was dying. Unfortunately, she passed 2 years ago at the age of 94. We cherish these photos of them together.”- Robyn Kamps Kim
