i think the hair loss is starting to happen.
my friend melissa, who had to have chemo 7 years ago, described the hair loss to me. she said that there's always a normal level of hair that comes out in the shower. but with chemo hair loss...you know...there's a lot more hair in the shower. and today...i think today's the day. there was a LOT of hair in the shower. :(
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230

at least you don't have a wooden arm.
I always thought Sinead O'Connor was so gorgeous with her shaved head.
You are going to be gorgeous.
You are gorgeous. And feminine. And courageous. And lucky.
I know it sucks. It does.
But you get to be beautiful and loved. So it will suck just a little less.
Love you,

Dear Meghan,
If you get a chance, download this song onto your new ipod by India.Arie - "I Am Not My Hair"
chorus:
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within
And I believe your soul is BEAUTIFUL!!
Linda
