My hair started falling out today and it was one of the most wonderful days of my life. Way up there anyway. I mean the BIG chunks that are amazing and you cannot believe after you see all that is in the trash that you have any left on your head.
I was told by my oldest daughters band directors that she was getting a huge award at the school yesterday morning. I was told that I had to be there to surprise her and get some pictures, especially since her Dad is out of the country. She is graduating this year so I wanted to make sure that I did not miss it. When I got there, I was with my girls and my best friend Crystal, and my oldest walked with me from the counselor's office to the band room. When I got there and opened the door, I was met with TV crews, cameras, etc in my face, and applause. I was very confused until I managed to see past them, and then the tears flowed.
The entire room was decorated in pink as well as everyone in it. There were posters, balloons, flowers, candy, cards.....it was overwhelming. Mr. Carrier gave a speech about how we were all family and I needed support now, and then I received hugs from all the kids. It was the most amazing experience and one that will carry me through the entire treatment.
My mom is watching. That much is clear. I see it everywhere. She is helping, she is healing, she is moving pieces on the chessboard. I am so lucky and I think I am going to be fine....
Aaaahhh-the Fountain of Youth
