Today I woke up and decided I needed to do
something about my hair. I've been mentally letting go of it for three weeks now - training myself to focus on what's important, and let me tell you - hair isn't it right now. It's hard as a woman to remove that piece of identity. To just say goodbye to it for oh, five months or so. So instead of having it shaved (since my hair is just shedding lightly at this point), I dashed off to my local cheap haircut place and gingerly handed her a picture of
Emma Watson and watched in horror as she lopped off all of my hair while telling me her mom died of breast cancer four years ago. Gulp. I kept telling myself that it isn't about my hair. It's about living. Surviving cancer.
When I arrived home, my sweet boys had shaved their head for me.

My sweet bald boys.
Jude snapped this blurry photo of us. I will be wearing a lot of hats out and about now - I feel much less feminine already!
P.S. To soften the blow of cutting off all my hair today, I am wearing my fake lashes (even though I don't need them yet) and am loving every minute of it!

Love the solidarity that your family is showing the world! What a great way to support you!
Your new do though is STUNNING! You look radiant as always because I have to tell you that the VERY.....yes...the very first thing ANYONE notices upon meeting you is your award winning smile. It meets your eyes! It draws everyone in! It welcomes people into your life! Your smile radiates the full heart of joy and love that you have because of Jesus! Cancer cannot touch that smile! Your beauty comes from within and shines through in your smile! It is by far my favorite feature of yours........unless I talk about your listening ear and your kind words!
