In reply to Maya.

Thank you Maya, and I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s true, the further down the line you get that “one wish” changes, like you said, what seemed like the ONLY wish you would ever want.. morphs into other things as you learn to accept your situation. I love that you found hats to be more your thing than wigs, they are simpler… that’s for sure. I am a wig wearer, but when not, I wear beanies. XOXO

Thank you for your post. I am so sorry about the death of your father. In fact, my mother died January 4th, so I am right there with you. But at 63 years old I have come to terms with the hair loss I have had for 35+ years, which has left me with very little hair at all, but I am otherwise very healthy – am also a cancer survivor and feeling like my best years are still ahead of me. I realize that what makes us beautiful is joyfulness, and just being in the moment – thankful for all the little things. As far as hair, I wear silly hats – part of just having some fun. I crochet my own hats using lots of fun colors and fibers – and I am going to make a new hat with yarn “braids” . I have tried wigs a couple of times, and I find that wearing fun hats is so much simpler and easier. Anyway, I used to wish all the time for a head of beautiful hair, but I realized that if I had one wish to make – there are much more important things to wish for. Thank you for sharing your journey. And may your beautiful smile light up the world

Thank you for your update, I have AGA and have been following you for over 10 years now, and you are an inspiration! I so agree with Gretchen, you have been holding many of us up! I come here to check on your post when I am down, and I have learned to accept and moved on with hair topper, I would do anything to pay you back for what I have learned from you, and for what you have done for us. I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my mom too last year and I know how hard it is. But please keep going. XOXO.

Thank you for writing and letting us know how you are. You helped me accept my hair loss and gave me the dignity to move on to wigs. You have been holding many of us up, and not hearing from you worried us. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words when you lose a parent. Please know that you have an invisible group out there who owe you their self-esteem and would do anything to pay you back.
