Cheryl Carvery-Jones - Click for slideshowI take silent pleasure in seeing that my alopecic and adorable wife is pleasing to the eyes of other men. However, I never lose sight of the fact that she chose to grant me very special and exclusive privileges for several reasons, not the least of which is my authentic acceptance of her alopecia seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

There is not a moment when I want her to cover her head or, more to the point, hide her alopecia areata. I have always proudly accompanied her to business meetings, church services, family gatherings and other social functions, parks, stores, restaurants, vacation destinations, and even to our respective workplaces.

Moreover, I never make an apology or some preemptive announcement regarding her patchy hair loss or baldness simply because she is my better half and not some blotch on my public image.

There is nothing -- and I mean nothing -- "abnormal" about her that I need to explain or justify. As she made crystal clear on her MySpace page when we met three years ago, her appearance is au naturel. Thus, natural is precisely the way she and I act, and it is the way we expect others to react.

Indeed, these are some of the things that distinguish my love from the mere lust of others. My burning desire for her has never been reducible to some fetish-like fascination with her. She is the phenomenal woman of my dreams not only because of what she looks like, bald or otherwise, but also because of what she is like.

I may be pleased without words when others notice her, but I'm definitely pleased beyond words that she noticed me.

This is indeed beautiful....as my eyes water up. I could only, hope, dream and pray that my good Lord sends me someone as half as decent as RJ in this passage. My "Mr. Right (now)" hasn't seen me without my hairpiece to understand his acceptance. I just wonder that one day when he walks in and see's me in my au-natural, what would his thoughts be.. Love that you guys created this site. Awesome, Beatuiful, Magnificent couple you are!
Benechia, thanks for the positively encouraging reply. Given that your confidence is through the roof and you understand that you are not your hair, perhaps there's no better time than right now to learn what your "Mr. Right (now)" might think of you without your hairpiece -- speaking of which, I'd love to know your thoughts on this discussion. ;-)
whew....glad you feel that way RJ....now I don't feel guilty about gazing upon Cheryl pictures. :)
