A Valentine's Day I Will NEVER Forget!

The day started out sad with the realization that the hair was falling out.  Chemo was next.  But my day ended perfectly and even though there may be hundreds of things I'd rather be doing on Valentine's Day, it was the most memorable one of my life.  Here are some pictures of what happened.   Thanks to Lisa and Connie for their great pictures.

The first picture is of my hairdresser Janelle Kimberly who works at Brown and Deline on the west side of Ann Arbor. I told her that I wanted to post her picture as a way of getting more clients....see the good work she does???  Actually, she is wonderful and I don't know too many hairdressers who do house calls.  Pretty special lady and I highly recommend her!





The second picture is of the cake that Karen baked (heart shaped of course) and brought complete with ice cream........it HAD to be a party right?








Lynn couldn't be here in person so we set her up on Skype and she joined us complete with scull cap, large flower in her hair, and glass of    
wine.....which seemed to refill automatically.  Her wit, smart ass comments and support kept us all laughing!





Let the shaving begin....  I always was intrigued with the mohawk hair cuts sported by boys at school so I asked Janelle if she'd give me one.

Still don't see what boys see in this.  Not sure I like this look!







Here she goes.  This picture shows the realization that it was really going to happen.  I am soooooooo glad that Connie, Lisa, Julie, and Karen (and Lynn) were there along with Janelle and I or I think it would have been sad.

The only one who had a problem with the hair cut was Chloe.  She wouldn't come near me.  I finally got down on the floor and got close to her and talked to her.  After a minute, she came close to my head, sniffed it a bit and then licked my head.  She is better today but still loos at me funny!



Here's the gang!  No one volunteered to shave their hair along with me so I had to settle for them wearing goofy hats instead.

Julie even drew a pink heart on my head (wouldn't THAT be a fun activity for kids???)

MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE PICTURE OF MY SISTER CONNIE AND ME!!!!!

I arrived at school this morning and was greeted by nine staff members who were wearing wigs.  I'm happy to report that I believe that MY wig looks the best!!!

I am the luckiest woman alive!!!
