You guessed it--I don't have hair anymore. When I read in my Bible that God has the hairs on my head numbered, I had to smile. I know that God doesn't need a guage to keep track--but it helped me to picture this room full of gauges called the the Hair Count Room. The day I lost my hair, there must have been a loud whir at my gauge as it whirled wildly back to zero. I know in the grand scheme of things, hair is not life-giving or life sustaining, but it is nice to know that God cares about things like that.
My Dad made a brief visit recently. As he stroked his bald pate, he said very sympathetically, "At least yours will grow back?"
Hair has been a big issue for me. I started getting gray very young. For all you "hair enhanceres"--I feel your pain:). I have been there--done that. I finally decided to give up the fight and let nature take its shocking course. I have finally gotten to the point that gray is okay.
The question is now, what color wig should I get? Or should I even get a wig? Someone suggested I get a red one to match Maria's hair. I believe that would make me smile as I look in the mirror. I am just not sure what to do... Your suggestions please...
They say that when the hair grows back, it often changes texture and even color. Wouldn't that be a riot! I would love to get my dark brown hair back. But if I don't--gray is okay. Afterall, it is definitely better then no hair at all.
It is easier to stay upbeat when you feel great! The last couple of days have been kind of rough. I continue to need your prayers so I can stay focused on God and his abundant grace rather then the temporary discomforts of fighting cancer with chemo.

It would be fun to have another redhead in the family for awhile :-) but my vote is for going with dark brown. That is, if you decide to go with a wig at all. Hats and scarves are nice, too. I really wish I could go shopping with you and help develop your temporary new look!
