BRToday was the day. The last day she’ll have with hair for a while. While we knew this day was coming, it certainly did not make it any easier- but our girl did it. We tried our best to prepare her for this, but it was still extremely tough. To feel her head again, as if she were my newborn little girl. My first born, my mini me, my rainbow, my perfect little angel babe… To feel her head, same as a newborn- but now with three surgery scars, and one lifelong implanted machine underneath her skin. Same fragile head- but so, so differently fragile now. To watch her heart break as she reached back to feel her beautiful hair gone. Then to watch her light return as she cut her dad’s hair. To watch her laugh and joke in the midst of it all. To openly cry, express her emotions and let us hold her through it. Parents- I cannot stress this enough- please, hold your babies tight. Hold their health in your hands as if it was the most precious gift you could ever be given.
To the cancer that lives inside her- you are absolutely NO match for my beautiful, strong and brave little girl. 👊🏼
To our community who sent videos- we watched the almost 30 minute long video compilation of all your encouragement and well wishes right before we cut her hair. I truly cannot express to you the deep gratitude and appreciation we have for all of you. You gave our little girl extra doses of love & encouragement before she did something she’d been scared of for weeks. “Thank you” can NEVER truly hold the weight of just how much Gabe & I appreciate you all.
To our Heavenly Father- thank you, for letting me keep her. For not taking her just yet. Her testimony will be one I owe and will sing your praises through. 🙏🏼
Now, we fight on. Hair or no hair- she is beautiful, she is strong, and she’s got this. 🎗️🩷💪🏼
