When I first saw the first quarter size spot on my daughers head I went histerical. I did some research online and took her to the doctor. He told me not to worry about it and that he would do some tests to make sure it wasn't ring worm or some other type of bacteria. Well they told me that the lab test were negative for any virus or bacteria. The doctor then told me that she was healthy and that I did not need to worry about it. I had a breakdown just thinking how hard the situation would be on my daughter and saw my world crumbling down. I thought I couldn't handle this situation. I felt like someone had stabbed me in my heart because as a mother my children are my world. I felt weak-minded. I didn't know what to do.
But then things changed, with help and support from friends and family I realized that this is not a life or death situation and that my daughter was perfectly well and that I couldn't let something cosmetic get in the way of her happiness. I also realized that I am a very strong person and I have learned to accept this and make the best of the situation. Maybe my daughter will grow her hair back a year from now, maybe she will loose it all, maybe she will always have patches on her hair but guess what I am ready for any of these situations. I wanted to quit school and quit my job just to be with my daughter by her side. But like my friend told me "You have to be well educated and economically stable to be able to provide for your daughter and to be able to set the example that I have always wanted for my children. To be productive and to reach for your goals!! To not give up and quit on your goals. As she gets older I want her to be a positive individual and to have a good self-esteem and not care about the negative people around her. I don't know what will happen in the future only God knows that but I am going to accept all the things that I cannot change and stay positive. If life gives you lemos make some lemonade!!!!!!
