Just had to write and say how at peace I finally am with this whole thing. Having aa was so damn hard on me, but now that I have au (which you would think would be worse) I just don't seem to care. Everyone has been so awesome -- even jealous -- that I no longer have to shave my legs that it's almost funny! I am lucky to have a husband and kids who honestly don't care what I look like. I'm beautiful in their eyes and that's what's important.

It's strange.....I really don't know what caused this revelation to occur for me -- perhaps it was simply stopping wearing my wigs every day and realizing that nobody was mean to me, nobody laughed at me.....nothing bad happened at all. In fact, it was all good, like nothing was different. Right now, I'm just feeling really peaceful and I hope and pray that everyone else going through alopecia can find the same peace that I'm feeling right now!
