You are beautiful no matter how muc...Dear Julie,<br /><br /> You are beautiful no matter how much or how little hair you have on your head. What strength you are showing your children and what a wonderful life lesson that strength is. You are lucky to have such love in your life.<br /><br /> Please permit me to tell you a little hair loss story. A few years back, my sister was going through the same hair loss stage as you. Mary Sue was fighting Cervical cancer. During one of her many hospital stays, she was primping and getting ready for her Oncologist to visit her. Mary Sue LOVED her Oncologist who was a real cutie pie. He was fairly young and she got a kick out of flirting with him...all for fun. Mary Sue at this point had lost all her hair because of the chemo she was enduring.<br /> So as she is sitting up in her hospital bed holding a little mirror and trying to put on some lipstick, she looked at me and said...<br /><br /> "God has a really weird sense of humor....he takes every freaking (not the actual word used) hair off my body, but he leaves this one *^&$ chin hair that keeps growing and growing!!!! "<br /><br /> Julie, I never laughed so hard in my life...it was so honest and so true. The lesson here...never stop laughing and seeing the funny side of life. Often that is what will get you through the tough times.<br /><br /> Much love...hope and prayers being sent to you and your family. <br /><br />Janet xox<br />The Empty NestJanet Metzger, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004040279820041203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531080902026831309.post-58465505804897239672012-04-11T09:19:08.191-04:002012-04-11T09:19:08.191-04:00Samantha is gorgeous and the knitted hat is adorab...Samantha is gorgeous and the knitted hat is adorable too, but you look gorgeous bald too!

I think it gives you a little bit of control over a situation where you feel like you have none. I actually love Sam! A good hair day every day! I don't think it looks like a wig in the picture and who cares what people think anyway.

Love, love Sam, she really is a beauty. But maybe because of where she gets to sit, you two go together perfectly. I never knew that about how your hair holds in heat, I guess it makes sense.
