My first tattoo. Almost every woman on both sides of my family have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Most of them passed away. But this tattoo is for two women that mean the world to me. Charlotte (my dad’s mom) fought for several years. It spread through almost her entire body. She was a real trooper. But on November 19, 2011, my Grammy passed away. Carol (my mom’s mom) was diagnosed February 14, 2011. One of the worst Valentines days ever. She was lucky. It was caught very early and she survived. I’m happy to say my Nina is a survivor, because it gives me hope. 

This tattoo symbolizes Freedom because they were both set free in one way or another, and Hope for all the rest of us, including me. I know my risks are very very high, and it scares me a lot. So this is my little piece of hope.

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talking to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World
