What a difference!

You may remember that last Halloween our family picture was of the adorable "Dorothy" from the Wizard of Oz, my handsome Hubby and me, cancer girl, with a scarf on my head because my hair had started falling out in huge clumps that week.

Here we are, in case you forgot!

Well, that same evening, after all the festivities were done & The Little One and her friend who stayed the night were fast asleep, my Mom shaved my head. That was more than a little tough, I'll admit. It wasn't nearly as bad as when it first started falling out, and I actually wish I had done it sooner to spare myself those horrible, helpless feelings. Anyway, I am actually going to post a bald pic so you can see how far God has brought me in a year! It's not slick bald, just right after my head was shaved. I still had eyelashes & eyebrows at this point so I don't look like a walking cancer billboard, just a girl with a shaved head...who would've NEVER chosen to do such a crazy thing!

This is a picture from this past Halloween. Praise God, I have a head FULL of hair!!!! It's curly & unruly & I don't know what in the world to do with it, but it's hair & I'm sooo thankful for it :)

What a difference a year makes, huh? I've come a LONG way & I am so very thankful and blessed to be where I am today, healthy and loving life! It's only by the grace of God, that's for sure!
