So the awesomest thing happened
So like most people on this site I have also lost my hair and feel really self conscious about it. The icing on the cake is that I have been away from my fiance since September of last year. He hasn't seen much of me since I've been completely bald. He has seen maybe one or two pictures. I keep my beanie or scarf on while we Skype or FaceTime. So the other day while we were Skyping, without thinking of it, I moved my beanie a little to scratch my head. When I realized what I had done, I felt totally embarrassed. Like any other girl, I was afraid that he wouldn't find me beautiful anymore and think of me as a monster, definitely not sexy. So as I quickly fixed my beanie, he told me in the most serious voice to just take it off. At first, I resisted, but he calmly repeated himself. So I reluctantly took the beanie off. For the first couple of minutes, I felt absolutely embarrassed, and I told him so. I also told him he probably thought I was ugly, etc. He completely shocked me and said that he thought I looked sexier and more attractive than I ever had before. And mind you he's always told me in the past that one of the things he loves most about me is/was my hair. All in all, it makes me feel much better about myself. I know I shouldn't look to others for validation about my image, but it makes me feel a lot more confident about my lack of hair knowing that he still thinks I am beautiful. It was one of the most uplifting things that has happened to me in a while and I just wanted to share it with you guys.
Thanks for listening to my rant <3

Thanks Aimee. I think it's important to appreciate the good guys. We always hear about the bad guys but no one gives credit to the good ones.

Yaay!!! It's a beautiful thing when the people we love surprise us and we love them even more.

Thank you ladies! He makes the struggle much easier. I don't know what I'd do without him. It is so encouraging and makes me feel better about myself.
Patricia - I am sure there is someone out there who would love you for you and not for your hair or other superficial things. You deserve it <3
