Bald and Beautiful and I Hope It Helps

As I have said before, I don't do this for recognition. I don't do this because it is a good look for me. I don't do this because I matter at all in this situation. I only offer it as a simple form of support to someone I love and care about. It is a simple gesture. It is a small statement.

Things I have learned from doing this. Man you loose a lot of heat out the top of your head! I always had heard you did, and knew it to be true, but try this and you really find out how much! I have found that my pate is not to shabby looking. I have found out how much this simplifies getting ready in the morning. I have found out how much maintenance this takes to keep the stubble off, shaving it every other day. But you know what, it doesn't matter. It is worth it to hopefully lend a little support.

After asking and receiving the okay, I can tell you that it is my sister that is going through this ordeal. She is fighting ovarian cancer. She is looking better post surgery and is getting stronger. She starts chemo next week. We don't always get along. We don't always agree on everything. We don't always like each other. But, she is still my sister and I will always love her.

To the girl that would always assign the roles in our youth playing together. She would always be the mobile character in the game and I would be assigned some inanimate role such as a rock or a fence post. Maybe it was because I was always so active. I say thanks for the good times.

To the one time you wanted me to play the Easter Bunny right after we opened Christmas presents (Easter is her favorite holiday). I am sorry for telling you "I don't wanna be no son-o-bitchin Easther Bunny, I'm playing with my truck!" I'm glad we can laugh about that now.

To the times you defended me from the older kids. Picking up the bully and escorting them out of our yard by the scruff of the neck to the astonished looks of all present. Thank you for standing by me.

To all the time you have spent with your nieces. You have made them laugh and look at life in a different way. Thank you for everything you have added to their lives.

I can't fight this for you, but I can fight this with you. You've done nothing wrong. You don't deserve this. Keep your positive attitude. Keep your faith. You will come through this stronger!


I love you.

Bowing my head so you can see there are no flaws to my dome (other than what's on the inside)!!!
