Amy Rose in all her Pinkness
For DA's Weekend to End Breast Cancer~

This was actually meant to be a normal Amy picture I did (once again) when I was at Chibi-Metal's.
But then I read about this Breast Cancer Awareness on deviantART and I felt like doing something for it.
Since I'm not able to donate money or something, I thought about a picture, when I got this pic in my mind again. Amy would just fit perfectly, I thought, and she did. ^.^
Well, one reason for me to draw a picture like this, is the fact that my family is not left out with the Cancer problem. My closest relatives (which includes Parents, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, etc which are alive) are not directly involved, but my aunt (from my dad's side) died about 18 years ago because of Breast Cancer, when my cousin was in my age (about 16). It's terrible to imagine how she must've felt.
At the moment, my great aunt has breast cancer again and it's sure that she will die. ._.
On Saturday before that pic was done, we got a phone call and my mum got to know that my great aunt was brought to hospital because her condition got worse. Meanwhile she has already does and her funeral was 2 weeks ago.
I never had a special relationship to my great aunt and almost never saw her (maybe once the last 7-10 years) but still I can't imagine her dying and not being around anymore. It's just... weird. It was obvious having her around all the time and then she should just be gone? I don't know how you feel about this but for me it's impossible to imagine.
It always gives me a weird feeling when somebody I know is dying.

Anyway... to get back to the topic... I won't say much about the picture right now. It was fast done and I chose a simple background because I thought it would fit the best.
I know this Weekend to End Breast Cancer won't help my great aunt anymore, but I know and I hope it will help others to get through it.
