Totally just brought tears to my eyes! Especially when my 5 year old came over to the computer and said "Hey, they look just like me!" Thank you girls! You are an inspiration!

Jen, your comment brought tears to my eyes. The reason why it is so important to support those who are treading a new path. Every step makes it easier for each one of us.

Also, thanks to my lovely husband, who can track down and find just about anything and bring it back to us. ;)

To Cheryl, R.J. and the entire Alopecia World family - thank you for the wonderful words and thoughts on Lilliana and Kayla. It was an amazing experience and the entire staff at CBS Early Show did a great job. It means the world to all of us to get the word out and bring awareness to alopecia areata - we're in this together! Keep watching Kayla, she is amazing.
Big Hugs to Everyone! - Donna, Lilliana's mom
