Well, so the Dancing with the Stars cast get to talk about their "Most Memorable Year" .. the fans should too.. I think it would be neat for the fans to talk about their MMY's also. So.. yeah here's mine.... I chose the year 2010. My most memorable year would have to be 2010. Why? I chose 2010 as my most memorable year because of how it impacted who I am today. My story begins right after my fourteenth birthday, two months and six days after to be exact. Everything was all happy and exciting, until April 19th when it wasn't anymore. My 2010 was flipped upside down in a very hard way. It was April 19th, and my life got flipped upside down when my grandmother (I called her nana) was diagnosed with cancer. Yeah that sounds sad, but it really was..she was like a second mom to me growing up. My mother she was a single mom of two kids, my brother who is older than me and I. She helped my mother out when she was working daily to give us the best life possible.. My mother told me "Your nana has cancer." And those words made my heart sink into my stomach. I was heartbroken. I knew what cancer was and I knew that it was going to be a rocky road. Nana, she continued to fight her fight and her health was deteriorating.. It wasn't until June 16th, 2010 her cancer took a dangerous turn.. I was with her during one afternoon, she was staying at my place because she wouldn't stay at a hospital as it wasn't comfortable for her. She was getting up, and she had to use the bathroom and of course she was quite dizzy whilst walking to the bathroom... there I was, trying to help her and then the most scariest thing occurred and she took a tumble and fell head first onto the bathroom floor, hitting her head on the toilet. All I remember after her fall, was screaming to my mother or father for help.. I was sobbing, I couldn't even believe what I saw that afternoon and i had my phone with me the whole time in my pocket as I was just checking my Facebook. My mother, she ran downstairs to see what was wrong and she saw nana on the floor after she fainted. My mother called an ambulance which then would take my nana to the hospital for then they would run tests on her. That's when they announced her cancer was now terminal... meaning she only had an allotted time left with us..it broke my heart into a million pieces.... As her health got worse and worse, it was now September - three months after the fall.. She was getting ready to leave the world, and I remember my mother calling me just so I could speak to nana... They gave her the phone, as the hospital staff allowed it and I had a good 30 minute conversation with her that cool September morning... I was just getting out the door as I was setting off to school.. I was in grade 10 that year.... I remember then thinking "Is this the last time I'll ever speak with her again?" And sadly enough, it was the final conversation I'd ever have with her. She passed away at 9:29AM, on September 27th 2010 as a result of her cancer fight ending up winning against her. My mother then called the school, saying that I'd have to be picked up early from school that day.. it was about 1:33PM and all I was wondering.. "Am I going to see Nana?" Or "Where am I going?"... and then my father came to get me and I left to go home. My mother, when I got home she had been crying.. her face a blood red.. and I knew that it was the end of a courageous fight. She told me that my nana had passed away that morning.. and as she told me that, my heart broke again.. and my tears kept flowing down... I had lost one of the most important people in my life... and it was scary... Then I remember, calling my principal at school in tears telling her I had to take the rest of the week off and they understood... The funeral was October 1st, only four days later and I remember crying. She was my best friend, other than my older brother... Years after her death, were harder and harder.. especially in 2013, when I was to graduate high school that year... It was especially hard for me because she wouldn't be there for me like she was for my brother three four years previous to my graduation. It's still hard for me and I know that its going to be hard... And one day, if I ever get to do DWTS, I will dedicate every single performance to her... I'd be doing this for her, as she would be proud of me for whatever choices I made. This made me cry by the way to be honest, I miss her so much. And I wish cancer would be cured... 3 -Shay (@SharnaKeoLove on Twitter)
