2 months ago, my hair was just getting to be the length i wanted it. ironic.
well, i saved this little piece.
actually zach told me i should keep a piece before he cut it all off.
i'm glad he did.
i look at it and feel it everyday.
it may sound silly, but i hold it up to my face to remember what it's like. i miss the feeling of my hair falling in my face or my fingers running through it. i miss using a flat iron, putting it up in a pony-tail and everything else i had always done without much thought.
i know it will all come back. but right now, i'll just hold on to this piece to help me remember.
and i don't think i'll every complain about my hair again...

I'm glad you saved it too. I'm glad you've taken photos of you without it. You should take a couple with your husband. I don't have one photo with me and Jacob with his bald head and it makes me sad (he always had a hat on or I was behind the camera). I was there through every part of all that and I don't have an image of us together to put inside a keepsake box - actually I ended up finding one. It's not actually a photo, but a sketch from Chuck E. Cheese. Worth more than a 1000 tokens.
I found a mini jar canister that I put Jakes' hair in. It's on a little shelf on our family room wall. It stands of a symbol of what we went through.
I haven't been taking care of my hair at all lately. It's totally rainy and I've been unmotivated. It's so easy to take it for granted.
jaci, you truly are beautiful! really.
It will be back before you know it! :)
Just think how healthy it will be when it grows in- virgin hair is awesome. Also- LOVE my hats! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
you are the bravest woman i know right now, Jaci. i mean that. thanks for inspiring me...and for sharing all your beautiful baldness and being real about such a tender thing. i love you and pray for you often. you're lovely in every way! xoxo
Possibly one of my favorite posts of all time.
Crying with you....
miss you lots!
How ironic that the sister with the perfect hair had to lose it? Not fair. Wish I could have taken your place on that one...or at least borrowed your nice thick hair while you weren't using it! :)
Hair's overrated...unless it's missing. You are amazing, my baby Juicy
