Thank you for coming back the last few months. I really did miss you. I thought I was mostly over you but having you come back has really made me feel good. This last week, though, you are giving me indications that you don't want to stay. Why? What can I do to convince you that this is where you belong? I wish I knew. Perhaps you'll change your mind and stay on a bit longer. And if you want to stay for good, that is great with me. But if you decide to go, please invite my positive attitude and self-confidence as a bald woman to come back because I really don't want to have to go through the search again.

That was about the coolest picture and written letter to your hair that I have ever seen/read. It needs to be published somewhere beyond your blog. By the way, where is the rest of your blog. Did you take it off to put in your book? I love you sister.

BOoooo!! Hair, don't you dare leave!! I have been too excited and it matters to me more now that I worry about Goldie and she has been so so excited and praying more than any of my kids and I want your hair to come back so IF Goldie ever loses hers I can give her hope by reminding her how yours came back. I am far too emotionally invested in this now :(
BUT!! Don't gret yet. Remember it might just be doing that after pregnancy thing and then strong again. Yeah!Yeah for your hair!!
nancy, that makes me happy because i kept thinking that maybe it needs to fall out again because all these people are making me speak at yw camps again and one at a rel.soc. so i thought maybe that was just supposed to happen, but your comment made me so happy because it reminded me how thrilled goldie was to tell me that it made her so happy about my hair and that she had been praying. if anybody's prayers are going to be answered, its the sincere prayers of our little ones. right?
and thanks ampse. my blog is still here...i don't know what was up when you came here. but thanks for the nice compliment on my "posterization" of my photo and the letter. :)
Oh wow - that was beautiful, poignant and is making me cry...why, why can't you have your hair?? It is normal for woman to have hair and to want hair. How did you do that picture..is that all your hair combed to the front? Oh I love you sister and then I read your post about Loumy and cried again. I will never regret my gypsy but oh how I longed for my angry Hatian and still do...if your hair is leaving so you can speak at firesides then STOP speaking at them - ha ha! We all will continue our prayers for hair...really though, you should publish that or post it somewhere on an alopecia site or something. Love ya, Kath
kath, yep, the front of my hair is getting pretty long. i just took that of myself tonight.
I cannot believe you have that much! Is it ever where? I know you said it seems to be going again, so I will start praying right now. You look so cute! I love the photo contrast! I do love you with this hort hair. You always look so cute with it!
Thats: everywhere and short not hort. I don't even use the word hort. But maybe I should. It is super cool I am thinking.
Wow, you have beautiful hair! cool photo too. What a sweet letter, your hair will have to listen now! I am going to pray that you can keep your hair and have lots more. Just in case your hair has other plans I am also going to pray that you will be at peace. I am rooting for your hair. I love you! ~mare
Awesome picture Perla!
Yeah, what the!? I hope that your hair will surprise you and stay for good this time and stop thinking about leaving again. Your hair reminds me a lot of my first marriage....in the end it didn't work out, but I'm happier than I have ever been with my new spouse, your brother. I don't know what will happen in the end for you (although we know there is no end and that you will come back with every hair in place later on), but you will always be an amazing woman and I know that your confidence wants to remain with you, hair or no hair. You are fine company, so how could it not?
Lots of ramblings from me....but true anyway...love you!
loved the post and picture. How amazingly complicated the human body is and that it works with precision mostly and that more things aren't going wrong for all of us is amazing. and you look awesme in that pic and your confidence exudes you, and I wish you would come to Kelly's tonight!!
oh i'm with the rest of everyone ... and will start hoping it's there to stay. :)
ps-i'm thinking you're getting some seriously huge gold stars in heaven for doing all this speaking at yw camps! :) but how lucky for all those girls to get to hear you and your amazing testimony.
yes-thanks so much- i got the sling and the announcement. thank you, thank you!! :)
I LOVE YOU!
Shannon, you are by far the most beauitful bald woman I have ever met. Hair or no hair you are amazing!
Cool picture! I too will pray for your hair. With so many prayers how can it not want to stay? By the way to answer your question we are in So. weber. Jay is still looking for a job and our house in Vegas is in escrow for a short sale. It is sad, but I feel we are where we are supposed be.
I'm with you on that! It's the ups and downs that make alopecia so crazy! I think a trip to the endo is in order - if it came back with pregnancy and is leaving after, I'd argue it's all in the hormones.
That said, it's only hair, sweetie and I'm CERTAIN you'll keep your mojo no matter what.
