- This is so sad! I cannot stand it!!!

- My first ever contact with cancer was by seeing my sister crying so much over any sad movie about a disease that I barely understood back then, Cancer.
- Skaidrė: 3
- Don't worry about me my darling. I am not scared of death but I am also going to fight against this monster
- It was just on 2020 that I would be forced to face the harsh monster, cancer. My maternal grandfather, Ernani, the hearth of my family, was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer.

- At the beginning we were so confident that he would defeat cancer, but we were all stabbed on our backs when the doctors informed us of how the treatment was going.
- Skaidrė: 5
- Than I realized that cancer was not just a biological disease, it was like a virus that infected my entire family with endless sadness

- Seeing him slowly die, was the most painful thing in my life. I felt like each day slowly he was loosing the life inside of him, like his colors were fading
- Skaidrė: 10
- Until there was nothing left, he was gone, and all the color in my world was also gone
- Skaidrė: 11
- But then I realized that if my world had no colors anymore, my mom's world did not even existed anymore. I lost my grandfather, by she lost her father.
