It's done - short hair! And it is short. It's a bit surprising to look at myself in the mirror still, but all in all I'm glad I decided to do it. I felt the need to work my way to bald in small steps hoping that when it does actually happen it wouldn't be too dramatic.I'm smiling here but yesterday was harder then I expected. The kids didn't like it (but are getting used to it). It makes what I'm about to go through a bit more real for everyone including me. I also received the scarves I ordered in the mail yesterday. It was a lot of no-hair foreshadowing all at once and a bit overwhelming.
Ana and I cried together and then talked about it. I'm just so sorry that my family has to go through this with me. I wish I could spare them the grief and messiness of cancer.
Thursday is fast approaching. And the unknown will be known. Which I think will be better.
Great friends offered to take some pics of me right after the cut. They are so awesome - thanks Jason and Darcie Brown of Revival Arts
*Edited to add - Go Canucks!
you look super super hot!!
ReplyDeleteoooh! i really REALLY like your cut!!!!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, you are beautiful no matter the hairstyle or lack of hair to come. (I think the short hair looks amazing!) We were petitioning for you all today to our God who knows and cares about every detail of your life. Love you so much!!
ReplyDeleteThe (very)short haircut is very becoming on you Heidi, so while you will experience a period of no hair for a relatively short time, you can also know that when your hair begins to grows back, you will suit that short look as well. Your unique beauty comes from within, and so you will be while going through this treatment. Hair is only an enhancement as icing on an already delicious cake. Thinking of you, Sam and the kids...aunt elizabeth
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely beautiful!!!! I pray peace for you and your family. My girlie would be equally overwhelmed, i am sorry for one more thing for you to have to work through in this already full-of-things-to-work-through journey.
ReplyDeleteYou are seriously stunning in the new 'do!!!!
Heidi, Your hair looks awesome! It really does suit you. I will be praying for you tomorrow. My hope for you as that you can continue to take one day at a time, focusing on the blessings and the promises of our Father.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I'm smiling with big crocadile tears running down my cheeks. You are my hero.
ReplyDeleteYou guys all rock! I feel so supported these days. I wonder if that's the real reason for this blog. It helps me feel like I'm not alone even though so many of you are so far away. Thanks for commenting and encouraging me so wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, you look great! You're a beautiful woman, inside and out and I feel privileged to call you my friend. I'm sorry that you have to go through this difficult time...wish I could take that away. I'm praying for you....for each step taken, one day at a time. You are not alone...lots of love and support is everywhere! xoxo
