Hairdo's and Don'ts
This Saturday, I am going to my high school's homecoming dance. As my roommate Dawna and I were planning out the evening, she suggested that I come early so that she could do my hair. I started laughing, and she was confused. The funny thing is, she wasn't trying to make a joke. She actually forgot that I was bald. I was blown away by this. Cancer is such a core part of who I am now, but when my friends think of me, it's nice to know that they don't think of me as "Cancer Gabi" or "Chemo Kid." To them, I'm still just Gabi.

have fun at homecoming! i'm sure you'll look beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI thought about cutting my hair two weeks ago. I finally did it the other night. It's short. I did it myself; I always do.
ReplyDeleteThen Mawi linked me to your blog.
I shake my head. It's just hair and yet it took me two weeks to decide. I look at you and you are so beautiful - but your beauty is more than skin deep. Your beauty comes from within. My thoughts for the last two weeks were based on whether my kids would still think I look like a "princess" with short hair (they are young, cute and delusional).
Tomorrow, I am going to show them a real queen!
I love you and I don't even know you! Thanks Gabi!
