Last night

Last night I did something I never thought I would have to do..

Cooper and I went over to mom and dad's house to help shave mom's head. Not exactly your typical family dinner. Mom had heard from a friend that once her hair started falling out from the Chemo, it would be a good idea to shave her head in front of her grand kids. That way they wouldn't be afraid of Grandma with a bald head. The kids helped out for a couple of swipes with the razor before giving up playing with a box of hats and scarves mom had put together.

All done
As always my mom handled what I am sure was a hard situation with grace and strength. I don't know how she remains so strong and composed through all of this. She is truly an amazing person and I don't tell her often enough how amazing she is and how much I love her.
