Today is day 4 of Bald life. Today is defiantly tough for me. First my daughter asked me to wear a scarf to her school. I agreed. When I got to the train station I decided I was not comfortable with it. So I took it off while she wasn’t looking. She did not notice for 2 minutes as we were talking about a picture and walking. The train came and she looked up at me and tears ran down her face. She asked , you’re not going to my school like that are you? I explained to her that I did not feel comfortable wearing a scarf and I just didn’t feel God was please with me personally for wearing it as if I hiding. You know like Moses with God takes the people out of bondage and they cry to go back.
I tried to hurry on the train, but she couldn’t or wouldn’t move. As I looked up , there on the pack train EVERYONE in that one car, even the conductor was staring at my bald head. The conductor looked out his train window with a smirk with a little laugh. Yes, in NYC!!! I was just amazed at how many stares I got. I had a audience! I would have gotten on the train smiling and happy if my daughter budged. I have never been an attention seeker, I avoid certain clothes and styles to avoid certain stares or comments, BUT BEING BALD TOOK ME OUT OF THAT!!!!
I realize that most people think I shave my head or got a “hair cut”. I got to many comments on my “hair cut” yesterday that I wanted to scream “ITS ALOPECIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Autoimmune Condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT A HAIR CUT!!! One lady yesterday said, “Oh I like your hair cut!” I responded, “Thank you but it’s not a haircut
Well long story short I didn’t get on the train. I put my scarf on and waited for the next train. My daughter was still disturb she was shaking.
I don’t feel pretty today! But I came to realize I didn’t feel pretty all the time in my wigs either.
My head is freezing, and I have to walk someone to the cancer center !! I couldn’t find a hat for my cold head yet… Im freezing :) So today is a blah day for me! BUT I know that Jesus lives and I can face today, tomorrow and a bad “hair day”.
