Description
My grandmother is a survivor of many things, the most recent being breast cancer. She was always full of life, beautiful and a woman to be reckoned with but her battle with cancer seemed to snuff some of that joie de vive and part of her was lost. This picture was taken at an event following her last batch of radiation treatments. I had been watching her all day and suddenly she burst into uncontrollable laughter and I had to grab my camera. I showed this to her later to remind her of who she is inside, regardless of what happened on the outside and she was very touched. On an important side note, I really liked this photo because you can see how protective my grandfather is.Please note that my grandmother passed away on April 13, 2007

I wish my gram would laugh like that again... she's a breast cancer survivor, but it seems like the cancer took something from her.
One thing I learned, treasure the happy moments.

wow. thats an amazing picture with a story to match.
im sorry to hear about your grandmother passing away. she looks like a strong, passionate woman, who is a joy to be around and a blessing to have in ones family.
i know what its live to be affected by a cancer, seeing as many members of my family have passed away due to cancer. at the age of 14, im now having to suffer becuase of my mum's agressive brain cancer, and were not sure if she will pull through.
though i will say that people with a cancer are so full of joy and love~ they are the people who truly apreciate life and can make someone so happy (:
may your grandma rest in peace

never forget in darkness there is light and you will see her again.
