Dear Camille and Melissa:
Hi, I'm Cynthia and my Daughter is Taylor-Jean. She also has AA and has had a very hard time with it. She too is very confused and angry as to why this is happening to her. As a mom, it is extremely hard to watch this happen to your beautiful angel and so badly wish that we could fix it or even trade places with our daughters. Just always remember..... you are not alone! Taylor-Jean is 9 years old and would love to have someone her age to talk too!!!! Please let me know if you would be interested in doing a pen pal type of thing and I can give you our e-mail address if you would like. Take care and hope to hear from you soon,
Cynthia (mom).

Chandler is the one in the middle. I am her mom, Lisa. Chandler is a cheerleader too, but will probably not do it this summer because of her hair. She is 10 and was just diagnosed2 weeks ago and her hair is coming out fast. She does not want to tell anyone and is very embarassed. We are trying to tell her it will be ok and her friends will understand if she just tells them what is going on. How do you get through this part? It is so frustrating that we can't just fix this!

Dear Camille and Melissa:
As luck would have it, I just got some computer time and Taylor-Jean has gone to bed. I will make sure that she see's your last comment and will help her send you an e-mail. She is also going to be soooooo excited!!!! Our e-mail is: c_haggerty@telus.net. I can't remember if I told your where we live or not???? We are in B.C. Cananda
Talk to you soon and take care,
Cynthia
