Prepping for chemo has taken us by surprise in many ways. The haircut for me was probably the easiest part. Bill and I did it with some emotion, not over the hair - that will come back in some way - but the unexpected battle. My childhood friends/accomplices surrounded us with laughter, an amazing dinner, liquid refreshment, lots of humor, and huge amounts of love and support. Bill sheared my head with the very same clippers that were used for his first haircut as a child. The clippers were a wonderful life connection. Feeling new breezes here on the seacoast...
Great group of gals in that pic.. Those clippers have done a lot of heads and now our Tracy's, the person who did it, did it with love, it can't get any better than that can it?
ReplyDeleteTracy, You are beautiful with and without hair! Your smile and spirit is what shines through. I share your blog with my friends and fellow "Rays of Hope" Board members here in Springfield MA. I am honored to serve on our breast cancer organization Board with several women who have weathered journeys such as yours. Like you, they are young, courageous and determined to beat this disease. Know that we are all fighting with you and praying for God's speed through treatment and all good news coming your way.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, one day at a time.
God bless,
