bald and beautiful


here it is.
now there's nothing left to hide!
me in all my white headed glory.
i needed my bald brother in the photo with me.
if he can do it, so can i, right?

...now if i could just get my beard to grow in that thick...we'd really look like twins!

Beautiful is right! You look lovely. It's a great reminder that hair and other "things" really aren't all that important in life. Hang in there the rest of your chemo. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Gosh, Jace! You really do look beautiful! It's neat to see someone who's been faced with such hardship find the strength and the confidence to press on and find joy regardless of their less-than-ideal situation. I'm proud of you and glad things seem to be going well. Love you!

P.S. I actually have a most vivid memory of riding the bus home with you when we were in elementary school and walking to your house through the backyard. You called at your dog who was in a crate type of a thing under the deck and his name was Dundee. So there you go! That's totally where we got the name for our puppy. :)

Bald and BEAUTIFUL is right!!!! Are you surprised at how not slippery a bald head is? Maybe it is slippery and silky on a woman's head.

Jessica & I talk about you - usually before or after prayers or when we are combing her hair. She is really surprised that girls can be bald. She'll say, "remember your friend that has cancer and has no hair like Jacob." I tell her how you wear your wig to work, but it's really itchy. Jessica doesn't like to wear anything itchy. I tell her how you wear pretty silk wraps. She asks what silk is. She reminds us that we should pray for you so you can get better. I assure her that even if she didn't have hair, she would still be beautiful. Beauty is something that we have on the inside. We worry that you must be cold in the frosty Utah weather. I tell her that you know how to make pretty hats.

Thinking of you... all the time.

Jac, most people (cough, Breck, cough) think I should get rid of the beard. So I don't recommend going that route.
