Eat Your Heart Out Sinead

There's a new baldie in town.



It's been roughly two weeks since Mom's first round of chemotherapy, and this time her lovely locks have taken a serious hit. It started coming out quickly, and she opted to be proactive about the process. In her own words:

Monica has offered to shave my head before the Taxotere does it for me. She is approaching this event with (somewhat alarming) relish. To quote, “what daughter hasn’t wanted to buzz her mother’s head?” Meanwhile, Gwennie just follows me around with the dustbuster. Cancer is a journey, without a roadmap. You have to accept the adventure, take the bumps, and enjoy the smooth parts in between. Love is your fuel; laughter is your refreshment, friends are your rest stops, family, your refuge, and acceptance, your destination. So thank you for continuing to be there for me, and enjoying the ride when we can!

It didn't occur without a few tears here and there, but who can blame her. She approached this with the same grace and courage she does all challenges.


Thank you Richard!

What a good head you have! Richard is a God - you could not have had a better person to do the honors. As much as Moe would have liked it. You are gorgeous as ever Liz! Lots of love to you.

Dear Babette,
Your beauty comes from within you. Hair grows back. Besides, summer is almost here, you'll be cooler this way. Not that you aren't the coolest chick around already!
Sending lots of love and prayers your way.
love,
Claire
