(LOL- I make people do that in my house and tell them to wear good socks when coming over. :) ))<BR/><BR/>You have an amazing family and they just love you so much. The photos of your hair in the sink make me sad, but you know, it will come back again and will be stronger than before.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>BeckySweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-6273293182272754642008-02-26T22:09:00.000-06:002008-02-26T22:09:00.000-06:00Handsome men in your life like this is gotta make ...Handsome men in your life like this is gotta make a gal feel better!

I think it would be for me too. But, by losing it, you know the chemo is working and is "fighting the good fight". Spend some time each day visualizing the attack going on in your body and the cancer decreasing and disappearing. Be a cheerleader for the chemo! Stay strong.

At first I freaked cause I couldn't figure out why my hair was molting?! Who knew that menopause has lots of not so funny effects! These past 3 weeks the new dog that I've had since Sept, unwillingly had, as I am very allergic to dogs and dander and he is inside and shedding like it's snowing inside!<BR/>Arrggghhhhh! It's in my mouth and on my clothes and I always hated that. My dogs who have passed, all were outside in the heated garage and so I didn't have all this.<BR/>Pheewy! But gosh I love this dog. My husband has for the last ten years had a lot of sadness over loosing his hair. He gets #2 close to the head military cuts now and he always comes home sad but making jokes as if it doesn't matter. I miss his dark brown hair too. But I love how he has matured emotionally and spiritually over the years. His short gray hair suits this time of his life. I miss my natural blond hair too. I was thinking yesterday how they say "there's snow on the roof" about gray hair but I seem to be having a "whiteout". I have long gray hair mixed with a lot of other left over natural colors fading. I liked living in the Southwest best and also Oregon cause most of my age and "type" we all have long naturally gray hair and wear long skirts and cowboy boots, the "uniform" of my generation (and don't forget the wire rim glasses). I remember when my mom cut her hip length black hair and stopped wearing her apron. It really bothered me. A few years ago I asked her why she did that, cut it all off. She said with tears in her voice held back, "My mother had died, your father had left me and I had to go to college and I was the only one who was 50 and to be a nurse they told me my hair had to be above my collar." All those years and the pain of having to give up her hair never understood or spoken. When I worked corporate back in NY raising my son, as a woman you couldn't get promoted if you had long hair, so off mine went. Single parenting calls for sacrifice as you know. I had a short "Mia Farrow cut" but I left a secret long long tail that was hidden under my business suit. I think of the story I loved when I was little about the woman and man who were married and in love and so poor. The woman went and sold her hair to buy something for her husband's Christmas and the husband sold his watch to buy her a comb for her hair. What they gave eachother for that Christmas was the gift of surrendering a close and important thing for their love. Then there is the story about Samson and how you know who got him to cut his hair and so it is said to have stolen his power. I really don't know what all this hair importance is. I know it is not just ego. I know it is not always the judgment of others. It doesn't really matter. What matters is that when each of us hurt over loss we need to be heard and supported and loved just the way we are. We need to have others acknowledge what we used to be but also to help walk us into our futures of what we are becoming. I know a few women who have the genetics of balding and they are young. They tell me they are ackward and self-conscious about it daily. They are wonderful wonderful women. Hair matters to each of us. But what matters the most is that we all travel the loss of our physical selves from age or other life losses. But we are still us! And you my girl are still my girl! I hear you and bless you for your teasing and your good natured laughter at yourself and your life circumstances! That is what I love love love about you is how alive alive alive you are! Your spirit soars! You rock. cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-30333487278217387352008-02-25T16:02:00.000-06:002008-02-25T16:02:00.000-06:00Deena.....Love your blog....I love how you share y...Deena.....Love your blog....I love how you share your joys with us....now this will probably make you laugh...When I had chemo I threw a hissy fit because I did not lose a single strand of hair!!!!
