It hasn't always mattered to me, after all grey is typically a pretty dull color. Not dark enough to be black not bright enough to be white. No one celebrates with grey. celebrations use colors like red or pink or blue or any color but lifeless grey. Even black gets its own party. Who has never seen an "Over the hill" birthday cake. Not grey. Grey gets covered up on a daily basis. Thats why they make hair dye, to cover up grey.
On August 26, 2013 I learned that grey matters. Not to take away anything from someone who has had to or is currently dealing with breast cancer because I understand ANY cancer or tumor can drastically change your outlook on life. What I want to say is not every ribbon is PINK. Some are Grey, dull lifeless grey. For those of us that have a brain tumor or know someone who has one Grey is a color of strength, life, hope, and determination. Grey is a color of tears, confusion, anger, and fear. Grey is as strong and as weak as Pink its just not as known. May is Brain Tumor / Cancer Awareness Month. Not asking for anything more than the support you all have already given me. Just spread the word for those of us who need support with this on a daily basis. Just like Pink, Grey Matters.
