Bald is Beautiful

This week has been full of challenges for Mom. From Nausea to fatigue to hair loss there has been a few tears shed, and our family has grown even closer.
On Tuesday I talked to Mom after work, and she told me that her hair had started falling out. She said if it continued at that pace she would be shaving her head and driving to Sioux Falls with Kathy to get new hair!
And the text message that I got the following morning was, "Shaving my head tonight - No pictures on Facebook or my Blog, but I'll send one to you."
Last night afterwork when I spoke to her she sounded kind of excited though nervous I'm sure to be shaving her head and said that Tony was going to shave his too!
So, here they are last night in Mom & Shannon's kitchen... Tony's Mohawk which I'm sure lasted 2.5 seconds only to please his Son's. First, Mom took the clippers to Tony.
Then, as I understand it ... Tony took the clippers to Mom. I haven't talked to Mom today, but last night she called me and told me she thought that everyone should shave their heads it's so much easier! I didn't hear one ounce of sadness in her voice. She even said in a text this morning that she was getting used to it.
Shannon Texted me the picture... I smiled.
This morning I got a text from Mom "You have my permission to put Tony and my picture on my blog, but not facebook... Bald is Beautiful".
Yep, Mom... you sure are :)
