April 4 - New Skin


April 4 - New Skin, originally uploaded by wasabi_peas.

A family member started chemotherapy this week, and she decided to get a head-start on her new hairdo. It's strange how much a part of our image our hair is, but how it's really not that big a part of who we are. As I told my daughter while she watched, the hair is just the part on top, but even with a different haircut, we're still the same person in the ways in which it counts. There's something beautiful and powerful about shedding a part of us that provides our public identity.

T, we wish you continued strength in this journey ahead, and you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for letting me capture this moment!
