When I see this picture it reminds me of the time I watched American Beauty and told you that I thought I hated it. You said, "Why?" And I said, "I think there's something disturbing about it." You said, "There must be something well done about it then." This picture strikes the same chord. I look at it and remember the first time my Mom did chemo. Her hair started coming out, leaving patchy spots, and she asked me if it was noticeable. I lied and said, "No." Then later
I found a clump of her hair in the bathroom trash can and I sat down on the floor and sobbed because all of a sudden the cancer was real. -R
