When Ms. Martin said put some significance about yourself into your stamp, I didnt know what to really do about myself. Then I thought I should do something that really impacted me. I thought my grandparents. My grandma died years ago and I didn't get to really meet her enough for my toddler-self to remember. Although my grandpa is still living, he has suffered with Alzheimer's disease just a few months after my grandma had past away. Each time i see him it seems to get worse and worse and now he can barely speak. He has lost the ability to feed and use the restroom himself. I get to see him this summer (once every year since he lives in mexico) and even though some people have, I wont, wont ever lose HOPE.

This is the collage I made out of magazine paper and my stamp. I was lucky enough to find an add that talked about Alzheimer that really incorporated greatly. Also the main color is purple since the original Alzheimer ribbon is purple, so that's the color of the stamp on that ad.
