I just want to say that your story is inspirational. I began to loose my hair to Alopecia about 3 years ago and have been forced to shave the rest of it all off ever since. when I first lost it I went looking on the Alopecia world web sight berore becoming a member and happened to come accross the story about nicky which I found to be quite touching. I thought Nicky and your family handled this very maturely. At the time it helped me to realize that it must be a harder thing to go through as a kid than as a grown man. I am now happy to go around with a completely bald head and have come to really like it. I dont think there has ever been a more fashionable time to have a bald head if you are a guy anyway. My name is Richard Tuck and I come from a very sunny part of New Zealand so I have to remember to put on pleanty of sun block. Hopeing that nicky is doing really well I wish you all the best

Hi Carrie, great photos'..How is Nicky doing? It has been awhile..Cindy

Hi Carrie,
How are you and Nicky? My daughter Amanda also has AA. I hope to chat with you soon.

I know what you mean...I think we owe Nicky a letter and I keep telling her to get on it, but something always seems to get in the way. Sam is very scheduled during the week so we write letters in between weekend activities..One is coming though..How is Nicky adjusting to school?

Hi Carrie, I hoped you and your family enjoyed a nice thanksgiving. Samantha just loves the card Nicky sent her. How is Nicky doing in his new school? I hope he is continuing to make friends and find his comfort zone among peers. Cindy

Thanks Carrie..Samantha always enjoys looking at the pages on this website too. Nicky his a sharp looking young man and I think he will be fine. If he is interested in having a pen pal, Sam always has room for one more...I hope things are getting better for Nicky at school. I read your blog to Samantha and she was mad. She told me to tell Nick he should bully back..Sam is spunky..Cindy
