Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

After school I headed to the store to pick up some goodies to have around the house. An older woman admired the flowers in my basket. We started chatting. Turned out she has finished chemo not too long ago for lymphoma. Said she didn't gain weight, lose weight or get sick...and "look how thick my hair is!" We both agreed the hair loss is really not that big of deal in the big scheme of things. She was a gift for me to talk with. I knew it was only when, not if I'd lose my hair. Tuesday I started "shedding". Wednesday the clumps began to fall. I called Brian and asked him to give his mother a mohawk! Opportunity for a little fun with this has presented itself! For someone who had short hair to begin with I was amazed at how much was on the ground after the big shave. It looks pretty good. If his chemistry degree doesn't land him a job he can stand outside the oncology department and give mohawks!

  1. I think it'd be surprising how many people would take him up on the offer. :o) Love the picture and what I can see of your backyard looks beautiful!
