Momma's hair

1980's hair

My Mom has always had AMAZING hair. She has always had big, blonde hair.  It is her signature.

Momma is always put together and won't leave the house without her hair done and makeup on.  This comes from being raised as a hair dresser's daughter.

1990's Hair

With Mom's new cancer treatment she has lost all of her hair.  It's been quite the experience for all of us.  Mom looks great in her wigs.  She has blonde, brunette, red.....and looks cute in all of them.    Many people don't even know they are wigs.

My dad had to help momma cut off her hair in December.  It was a tangled mess of hair falling out caught up with hair struggling to stay in.... Momma was laughing and dad was crying through this ordeal.    My brother Adam, helped with the hair shaving act and finished getting rid of the loose stragglers, giving mom a bald pate....just like his..... ( I need a picture of that)
 Through all of this my mom has been positive and grateful.   No lie.
There is something awe inspiring about a bald head on  a cancer patient..............

MY sweet niece, Rachel wrote this about mom's hair.......

"Her hair being gone means she is willing to fight no matter what. It means she is going to be bigger than life by fighting death, just like her hair. And that's how I know everything will be ok. Because she is powerful like her hair. She is important. She is strong. She is amazing"


I agree with Rachel................ Mom is amazing, with or without her hair.
